Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.
Selected Early Writings of the Poets   I the roses are red and all the violets are blue oh look, a haiku - Basho II Roses are red, unlike those daffs, I wander lonely as a giraffe cloud. - William Wordsworth   III Look – the roses are red! They make my heart sing! They fill me with hope – Like a feathery thing! - Emily Dickinson IV ROSES ARE … NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE? I MUST HAVE LEFT MY CAPS LOCK ON - ee cummings V Roses are dead, see how they droop. All of us die: life’s only truth. - Philip Larkin VI The roses had gone (unlike my bunion) so got this instead – here, have an onion. - Carol Ann Duffy Brian Bilston

This is another free to attend event in the North East organised by PORSCH. The physical health of prisoners rarely receives the attention deserved. Food budgets are low in relation to meeting nutritional needs. Why not register and come along?
