Welcome to all of you with enthusiasm for
the literary, the musical and the artistic. We have stories, we have poems, we
have pictures, we have music reviews, and with your help, we're constantly
adding more.
The site is regularly updated with new material, let
the editor introduce the latest edition:
December 20th
Merry Christmas!
The festive edition is out, just in time for the big day.
So sit down with some mulled wine and a mince pie ( or coffee and doughnuts if
you choose ) and we'll begin...
First we have the story of Linda, whose unusual life was
cut short by jaundice. No hedgehogs were harmed in the telling of this story.
KJ Hannah Greenberg brings us "The Yellow Girl".
Next it's time for some photographic art from Jeff Crouch.
Always in search of the off-beat subject, Jeff has been out snapping some
modern landmarks: power lines.
Martin Green returns next, with a new story concerning a
retired man who might be having a little trouble letting go... The story is
called "The Lunch Date".
Every year our elder statesman JBP brings out a small
volume of poetry which he distributes amongst the faithful and some - usually
unappreciative - book-shops. This year it's called "Words" and here are three
wintry poems from it.
Lastly it's the turn of Wayne H.W Wolfson. He has been
looking into the lives of Satie & Cocteau - after a little dalliance with a
clarinet.
Not a bad collection I hope you'll agree? We'll be back in
the year 2010, sounds like a long way off doesn't it? but it isn't...
Gimme an Auld, gimme a lang, gimme a syne! Put 'em
together and what have you got?... err...
Ed.

A Nest of Anarchists
by JBP
Winamop was conceived on a whim, is run on a
shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has continued unabashed
since 2003.
All human life is here, experienced people,
skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they
belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick up the pieces and
make of them what you will. Find out about us here
and about the site here.
We hope to continue to maintain a showcase for new writing
which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of the in-house team.
We have well over 250 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we need
more...
Have a good look around and if you feel that you'd like to
contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The copyright remains
yours, and you could win a mop (yes, a real one!).
