"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA
was one of the Seven Wonders Of The World
It
was burned to the ground and no longer exists
Same
with that network of Public Libraries set up by the Carnegie
Foundation
and
Workingmen's Institutes-neglected ,with such limited inventory
folk
flick to the Internet to GOOGLE their borrowed worlds
How
much of your life is lived between covers?(of a book!-not i -nor e -just b o o
k
Public
Libraries are a threatened species-days cut like limbs from the World
Tree
We
are our Libraries!Private collection in historic mansions,lawyers libraries for
fees,
professional
journals and teaching texts-as well as religious /remain as a solid
basis
yet
digital can be deleted,and GOOGLE is censored.Libraries are lovers!
They
welcome us in!Reading the only price of participation.
Come!SHARE
YOUR STORIES! SING!
