Rob Auton follows the success of In Heaven The Onions Make You Laugh with a deeper darker, richer collection of his trademark micro stories and poems from the other side. PETROL HONEY features work from the Edinburgh fringe shows (the Yellow Show and the Sky Show) that have earned him cult status and a growing army of fans. PETROL HONEY explores the deeper meaning of the colour yellow, whether Lurpack is available in Heaven, and what happens in a Supermarket when the lights go out. PETROL HONEY introduces us to Nigel who runs the weather and will teach you to sing the Normal Song on the bus. You will never look at the world in the same way again once Rob Auton has taught you how to throw stones into the future.

The Trouble With Compassion by Kirtsen LuckinsBurning Eye
The Trouble With Compassion is a collection tinged by Buddhism, flavoured by the poet's attempt to see herself and others through the lens of loving-kindness. Even the really annoying ones. Even snails. Kirsten's poems cut 21st century Zen with a shot of humour as they hone in on the truth at the heart of our contradictory world.
Talk you round till dusk by Rebecca Tantony sampleClive Birnie
Every one of us is a complex and beautifully woven fabric of stories, and whether we tell them or not, there are no measuring tapes or weighing scales to speak of their worth. Talk You Round Till Dusk is a collection of tiny stories and big ideas celebrating the wonder of the moment. It’s about those journeys in a car driving across a desert, or walking from the bedroom to the kitchen, where we discover that what we have is enough. Stories so small they fit in the palm of a hand, yet carry the weight of the world with them.
Talk You Round Till Dusk is a collaboration between spoken word artist Rebecca Tantony and illustrator Anna Higgie. In a mix of flash-non-fiction, short stories, poetry and 16 full page colour illustrations, Rebecca and Anna take us on on a philosophical road trip from Bristol to Andalucía, Nicosia, India, San Francisco, Death Valley and Mexico.
Alternative Beach Sports by Michelle Madsen sampleBurning Eye
Michell Madsen is a good example of a growing band of poets who have learnt their craft by performing live. If you only encountered her poetry on the page however, you would just think "poet" and find no need to get weighed down by a "performance" prefix or wonder whether this is that mysterious Spoken Word you have heard about.
Maybe Michelle is a cross over artist who is at ease in both poetry worlds, she certainly understands better than most that “page and stage” operate inside the same tent. The poems collected here show a flair for structure and technique that only serves to strengthen work written first and foremost with the microphone in mind. From wild romance to dark satire Michelle’s poetry contemplates love, lust, physics, politics, identity and gastronomic oddities.
‘Michelle Madsen is one of the few poets I know whose work is as good on the page as it is performed. Her poems are what I send to those who protest that spoken word poetry is not proper poetry.’
Hollie McNish
‘Promises sparkle, and champagne and glittery
dresses. As do lying eyes, glass in the gutter and the hen-do aftermath. Whether it’s sported proudly or tossed to the kerb, an engagement ring shines, a winning smile gleams and Michelle Madsen’s poetry surely sparkles.’
Tim Wells
‘Michelle Madsen is a top bird!’

Sweat-borne Secrets by Sally Jenkinson SAMPLEBurning Eye
This short collection confirms Sally Jenkinson as a poet of great talent. In the twelve poems presented here she demonstrates an individual voice that many a more seasoned poet would kill for. This is poetry from the messy world of real life, where going through the mill and the mire ‘Stellared, smoking, sinning, choking’, is all part of the party. Sally has an exceptional ability to capture a moment not only as a well crafted image but as an adept evocation of the emotion we feel in our hearts and stomachs. A confident debut from a poet whose name will become familiar.
Sublimation is considered by many to be the most successful of all ego defenses.
If a girl’s love leave her for someone else, she might fly into a rage and create tantrums like destroying all related to him… or she might instead write a poem that expresses how she feels.
The first instance (destroying up all her partner’s items ) is an example of displacement, the redirection of uncomfortable feelings towards someone or something less important, which is an immature ego defense.
The second instance (writing a poem) is an example of sublimation, the channelling of uncomfortable feelings into socially condoned and often productive activities, which is a much more mature ego defense.
And if the poem or poet were one day to be recognized, would that not be the sweetest revenge?
Another example of sublimation is the person with sadistic or homicidal urges
Who joins the military to provide an outlet for these urges, or
Who, like Justice Wargrave in Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, becomes a judge who liberally awards the death penalty in murder cases.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

"Brevity gets right to the point
doesn't dawdle, dicker, or delay
always short and sweet whenever
there is something to do
or say
brevity comes in handy when you
are subject to a chewing out
a bout of the flu
a pain in the neck
or waiting in line for the loo
in fact, this poem has gone on so long
that its recital
would no longer qualify
as an example of its title"

Flying Solo
Time to go
. . . solo.
Teacher hops out,
open seat huge in its emptiness.
Only comfort, an airplane.
Butterflies swarm
in her stomach.
Breathe, girl.
Courage beats fear.
Taxi down the runway,
pick up speed,
pull throttle back,
wheels lift off . . .
Flying solo.
Breathe, girl.
The air up there is fine.

There are many ways to describe Ms. Underdorf.
She was brilliant and joyous, and she believed-probably correctly-that
libraries contain the answers to everything, and that if you can’t find the
information you seek in the library, then such information probably
does not exist in this or any other parallel universe now or ever to be
known.
She was thoughtful and kind and always believed the best of everybody.
She was, above all else, a master librarian and knew where to find any
book on any subject in the shortest possible time.
And she was wonderfully unhinged…
And so the Amazing Armadillo.

Girl (Bug)meets boy at a car
wash.
"Dog," she says.
"Dude," he says.
And probably this would
have been a sweet teen
romance. . . .
If Beals hadn't been sitting
next to her in the car.
If Beals hadn't been a
supernatural repo man
looking to repossess her car.
And to possess her.

whole enchilada. With a side
