I'm new here

[Gorgonshead]

Hello to all of you -

My name is Peter. I'm excited to be here. I've had a look around and find the poetry and criticism a great combination. I am not interested in the "I loved it" kind of sites. I would like to learn to write better and have some notion how my stuff is taken by others. I also find others' views on the art intriguing. I have been a "closet poet" for many years, rarely letting anyone know or read anything.

I see that this is a UK based site. I have long been an anglophile. Living here in New England I feel a connection few of the people here do.

Welcome Peter. I think we are a friendly but frank bunch, so you should fit in well I think. The phrase ‘I love it’ is occasionally used here but generally with constructive comments about why, too. But I know what you mean about ‘I love it’ sites. There are a lot of them.

Anyway, I look forward to reading some of your work.

Cheers,

Tristan
