I'm pleased to reveal dadakuku Vol 3! This anthology, with 657 verses from 239 authors across 313 pages, is the largest yet. As usual, it is jam-packed with baffling brevity from the international avant-garde literary community. Thank you for your support!

love hurts
the semen
and the venom

dawn choral
a blackbird fills the ivy
with notes of light

tilling the land
the earth turns slowly
under our feet

So there's still plenty of time to get the Tube Mapper calendar. I was selling some of these in a Christmas market the other day and came up with the tagline...

"It's a gift that lasts a whole year!"

Anyway I'm very proud of the selection of images in the calendar so do enjoy.
