The End of Cable News (a double Slim)
all the news
that can break
has broken,
the prompters
are blank, the
pundits gone,
goodbye Coop,
Wolf, Jake, Don.

Love this, Jim! ‘the prompters are blank, the pundits gone’ I want MORE! By the way, you asked me to let you know when New Writing Scotland was out; you can get it here (and I believe they will post outside the UK): https://mybooksource.com/she-said-he-said-i-said-pb.html Or alternatively, if you want to, you can read my story for free at https://www.highlifehighland.com/old-libraries/wp-content/uploads/sites/128/2017/06/Short-Story-Third-Prize.pdf Hope you’re well, Laura 🙂

Thanks Laura for your comments and encouragement, much appreciated. Just ordered New Writing Scotland through Amazon…will wait to read your story in print, my preferred medium for fiction. Look forward to it! Congrats also on winning a prize! All the best, JIM

Thanks, Jim. It’s a great anthology so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. There’s a poem by a friend of mine that I reckon will be right up your street – it uses form but in a fun way – so look out for that, ‘Alphabet’ by Mandy Haggith. Hope you & your family are well. Take care, Laura
