Billy 'Nibs' Buckshot The Complete Works by John Gallas Claudine Toutoungi but wears its tragedy so

but wears its tragedy so lightly at first it’s hard to notice

representing both loss and the degradation of the whole

mining radical and anarchic histories to offer a collection of political resistance with both absurdity and seriousness

In lieu of identity’s ‘neurosis’

” John Burnside

Billy 'Nibs' Buckshot The Complete Works by John Gallas Claudine Toutoungi but wears its tragedy soThis collection of 200 tankas has no Great Purpose, apart from explaining the Meaning of Life. In an firework display of 31 syllable sparkles, probably set off by accident, it lights up any corner of things done, thought, felt, seen, suffered & enjoyed that it pleases. The writer, barely in control, stands back at a safe distance & watches, mostly with a smile as contradictions abound, ideas morph, and preferences and amusements change.
