The following batch of recent poems are up at Wordpress - one or two are already up elsewhere at this site - i.e. 'Solar Fruit' but a number of travelogue poems (related to a recent trip to Vietnam) are up online for the first time.
The poems are as follows: 'Objects in Boredom', 'Of Phosphor, Skin, Muscle and Bone', 'Thoughts on ther Shore of Luu Khiem Lake', 'Stirring the Coffee in Hanoi' and 'Solar Fruit'. Go to Wordpress Ian Irvine and Mercurius Press. All poems copyright Ian Irvine 2003-2010 all rights reserved.

Best Wishes,
