The Lost Notebook: March 2009

I lost my notebook. Have you seen it? Now I must remember everything that was in it. Argh. Saturday, March 14, 2009. One of the minor miracles of coincidence happened upon me today, though one that needs a bit of set-up to establish its (admittedly deeply subjective) level of astoundingness. Back in January, I was in Sofia after a series of translation sessions with Bulgarian friends and fellow poets. A book I've since bought in a current edition, but want with the Bruce Pennington. He mentioned a childr...

The Lost Notebook: A Flock of Sparlings
http://thelostnotebook.blogspot.com/2010/12/flock-of-sparlings.html
I lost my notebook. Have you seen it? Now I must remember everything that was in it. Argh. Sunday, December 05, 2010. A Flock of Sparlings. One of these books, less lost than under-finished, is the collection of near- and non-short stories, Virtual Scotland. The recent discovery that the rare fish known as the sparling has again been caught in the waters of the Forth bodes well for the Scottish fishing industry. A distant cousin of the salmon, this little fish has for many years been caught by the to...

I lost my notebook. Have you seen it? Now I must remember everything that was in it. Argh. Thursday, September 11, 2008. The beginnings or constituent parts of actual poems. Here I'm fortunate, in that I'd recently gone through the notebook and extracted these up to about the middle of August. Including these will be a propaganda victory in the war upon oblivion.).

But every now and then I am reminded of one such scheme (hare-brained? Both he and (and herein arrives a further shit-load of irony) my partner pooh-poohed the project, stating that no-one would ever be interested in such a device which wouldn't work anyway.

The Lost Notebook: December 2008
http://thelostnotebook.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
I lost my notebook. Have you seen it? Now I must remember everything that was in it. Argh. Friday, December 26, 2008. The Ghost Notebook 1. I noticed in my recent self-hypnosis sessions (a nice and oddly seasonal way to send yourself to sleep) that I was putting the lost notebook to quite another use: ghost-writing new entries.
