Global Tapestry Journal

The best of the British counter-cultural/ post-Beat/ bohemian print magazines, "Global Tapestry Journal", returns this week for issue 30. And I'm in it, with two rather ravishing photos taken a couple of years ago when I didn't have a big grey beard--I shaved it again recently, but grew it back again straight away-- and my hair was sort of attractively curly (I was having sex intermittently then: it gives you confidence). There's also a long cranky piece I wrote in defence of one of my favourite scribblers Hunter S. Thompson, after some ass wrote an attention-seeking character assassination of the good Doc in the previous issue.

But my appearance in the magazine isn't the only delight. For your money you also get poetry by Bryn Fortey, Chris Torrance, Eddie Harriman, Bill Wyatt, Barry Edgar Pilcher, Dave Church and George Dowden. You also get an article about Chris Challis and a review by Jim Burns. Pretty good f****** value, I'd say. Go find it, if you know what's good for you.
