Next single Moose The Mooche out soon, with original lyrics

This is my fave pic of Bird, with the Buddha-like eyes that Kerouac described, "The expression that says, All is well. This was what Charlie Parker said when he played, All is well"

NY, c.1947

If his prose is as dazzling as his poetry, this will certainly be a work to savour. Peeling Apples, the new novella from Alan Parry, out April 4. Can't wait to delve into this, from one of our most compelling modern voices

'Someday beneath some hard
Capricious star—
Spreading its light a little
Over far,
We'll know you for the woman
That you are... '

Djuna Barnes, From Fifth Avenue Up

'... To defy Power, which seems omnipotent;
To love, and bear ...'

These are among my lodestar lines at the moment. Shelley, from Prometheus Unbound
