The Forward Book of Poetry 2024 is the latest edition of poetry from the Forward Arts Foundation

My grand-daughter is mixed race. I am proud of her. I am proud of her parents for seeing another person to fall in love with and not the colour of their skin. So when activists from a political party call (and I suspect, some of its MP’s think it) the latest Home Secretary of the UK … Read more

The Total Perspective Vortex (or how Doctor Who told us to get a sense of proportion)

2 January 202230 June 2017 by Lewis

The latest series of Doctor Who has been one of the best in a while. Solid story-telling backed up with good acting from Capaldi, Mackie and Lucas.

How do I do it? How do I say sorry to my two year old grand-daughter about what happened today? I could tell her that this may be a new and interesting world that she will live in – but I don’t believe that. I could tell her that not much will change and that … Read more

Graphic Novels of the Year 2015

4 January 202217 February 2016 by Lewis

Star Wars: The Force Awakens © LucasFilm/Disney Every New Year you always pray that it doesn’t get any worse than the previous one. For me, 2015 proved the non-existence of God or that He just didn’t like the virgin comic book readers that were offered up. Plus, the wife and myself must be some of … Read more
