Feeding The Cat

Two of my poems have been included in the Cinnamon Press anthology Feeding The Cat which has just been published. They are The East Yorkshire Crematorium - which is mentioned in an earlier post - and a long poem in three parts caled Trisagion. In Greek that means Thrice Holy and is part of an Orthodox liturgy. The poem was written on the island of Naxos in the Cyclades and works with the idea of the ancient sites carrying a residue of the old religion which has been overlayed by Orthodox Christianity and now has a religion of sun seekers and tourists on top of that. Probably doesn't work but Naxos is a great place to sit and write ! I'll post Trisagion when I can find it on my PC !
