თორნიკე მერაბიშვილი, ილია ჯღარკავა, ვანო დვალიშვილი

ღმრთისმშობლის შობის IX ძლისპირი "რომელმან შევ მთიები"

Margaret Atwood began writing poetry in high school, and the most thrilling moment of her writing career was the publication of her first poem: ‘I mean, all the other things that have happened since then were a thrill, but that was the biggest.’ She has gone on to publish 19 collections of poetry, as well as 14 novels – including 'The Handmaid’s Tale', 'The Blind Assassin' and 'MaddAddam', published last summer. Organised and methodical in writing fiction, she writes poetry ‘in a state of free float’, very often in hotel rooms or on planes. Her poems tend to begin with a cluster of words, around which they form – she has compared the process to ‘dipping a thread into a supersaturated solution to induce crystal formation’ – and sometimes they result in novels. In a conversation with Peter Kemp, Chief Fiction Reviewer of the Sunday Times, Atwood talks about how she believes that poetry and fiction use different parts of the brain, explains how poems can open doors into rooms which novels then enter and explore, and reads from her work.

Forest Green English Melody

A rocking tune in true Celtabilly style. The one that usually gets the crowd swinging when
the party starts jumping, the feet tapping and the heartbeat thumping.

Chasin the Beer

Felt like singing today, for the very first time in weeks...and I felt like singing this song. 
It was actually more like an urge than a simple feeling. I know it has nothing to do with the original, so consider it a humble tribute to the great Joni Mitchell - and, if you like it, a dedication to you :)

Both sides now *Joni Mitchell tribute*
