LATEST NEWS FROM THE BUS DEPOT

PB4 is shaping up to be the best issue yet. We have been INUNDATED with poems since PB was put on the Duotrope site and must (temporarily) close submissions to catch up and also to put PB4 on the road.The good thing about all this is all the new poets getting aboard, many of them first timers.
The bad news and the other side of the same coin is the rejections.

None of them were easy,(if anything the more we do the harder it gets) some were really tough.There is only limited space and often it is a case of what fits the issue best style wise.So keep going,keep writing, try lots of mags, don't give up!

The stunning front cover is by Italian artist Sarah Wendy Oliva, the inside is a closely guarded secret, for now!But expect great poetry, cutting edge illustration and some musical surprizes!

The next step is to go to fundit.ie and see if the peoples goodwill and support can fuel this bus again. There is a kind of community feel to this project and although it terrifies me I like the notion that this mag is people funded and if the people don't want it, then it simply won't happen!
Maybe that's the way it should be. It keeps us on our toes to be different, ever evolving,accessible, and above all interesting!

'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction' PB is still on the outside looking in.WATCH THIS SPACE!

PB4 !!!

All the poems are in the shed.Too many! Magic will have to be worked! The cover is done and some of the artwork. A major assembly operation will be under way soon. Meantime I'm delighted that Laura Moody will perform the opening track on the CD. She is amazing! Try and catch her next gig in Dubland May 8th at 8.30 pm at The Ha'Penny Bridge, details here. HERE

As The Arts Desk noted of a recent performance, 'It seemed almost as if she had taken every musical influence that had come her way and put them in a blender... certainly extraordinary and sometimes disturbing. But what surprised me most... was just how often it became mesmerising.'

PB4 , a bit like a poetry magazine , but much, much bettter!

There's a Bus on the radio!

Those nice people from RTE's Arena show asked me on to talk about the magazine and I was delighted! What a great boost for The Bus. I don't know how it went as I couldn't do the show and listen to it at the same time.Family say it went well but you can't trust them! I'll put a link to the podcast/playback when it goes up. Unless I did really badly in which case I'll delete all mention of it.
Sean Rocks was great as were producers Nuala and Jacqui, very helpful and kind. I hope the message spreads and we gather momentum and get the work of the poets, artists and musicians 'out there' among the people where it belongs. Spread the words peeps! Also buy buy buy bye bye!

And here it is already! Arena

I'm off to have a listen!
