I have joined the PoetBay.com supporters' club on Facebook, just for your information. Should it be updated? This is my update there today...


some facebook engagements



Yours truly can now be said to have survived the Great Book F(l)air of Gothenburg after heavy engagements in among other things the Finnish civil war in 1918, the climate crisis with Bernt Skovdahl, the Gothenburg Writers' Society crisis, the Tibet Charity crisis, the crises of the Swedish language in Finland and the Finnish language in Sweden, the Swedish publishers' crisis and the great crisis of 1809 when Sweden lost Finland among other crises; the whole Flair was a constant crisis of heavy engagements.

Today we celebrate the great fighters Horatio Nelson of Trafalgar Square, Robert Clive of Calcutta, Pompey the Great, defeated by Julius Caesar but murdered in Egypt (not in battle), as well as Lech Walesa of Poland, also Miguel de Cervantes, who actually fought many battles, and the robust Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) who as a painter mainly fought with ceilings.

Let's not forget Trevor Howard, whose many fights were on the screen, together with Stanley Kramer ("On the Beach", "It's a Mad Mad World") and Greer Garson, who evacuated Dunkirk in "Mrs Miniver". Emile Zola, however, succumbed today intoxicated to death by charcoal fumes (1902).
