The Writer of Bull Poetry Continues.
Extra Extra! Read all about it! The writer of Bull Poetry still exists! Three years on the author of Bull Poetry, Mr. Labond Gozey, continues to exist. If one observes him for some time, his outline continues to maintain its former aspect and the form does not change significantly. The question is this: does his voice prevail? Can it be heard above the miasma of surging characters that scour our brains bear to the grizzle? We shall find out. Will there be more Bull Poetry? Hard to know. Let us hope so.

More Praise
A contributor to Fanzines recently described Bull Poetry as:
Fantastic - Hiakus for the post-industrial bastardage.. or something.
What do you think? I think yes.

Award Winning
Recently, Bull poetry was used to win the University of East Anglia Creative Writing Society's Annual Poetry Slam. UEA's student periodical, Concrete, described Bull Poetry as 'Fabulously Sureal' (Issue 177, Wednesday May 4th 2005, Issue 126 of The Event, p.16).
This is indeed a certain validation for Bull Poetry and I would erge other poets who are reading to try adopting this liberatingly constraining structure.
