The House


'I think of the notebook as a house for words, as a secret place for thoughts and self-examination.'

The Celebration on Bonfire Night


Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!
