From the March vault.......
Back in the day, James Robertson, author of the novels The Fanatic, Joseph Knight, and The Testament of Gideon Mack (which was Richard and Judyised) was the first Brownsbank Writing Fellow out in my neck of the woods, living in Brownsbank Cottage, the former home of poet, Hugh MacDiarmid, and while there he edited the collection "Mistaken Identities" which featured my "Twilight Zoneish" story "But It Won't Ever Happen", and a few of my poems, including:
SUCCESSFUL WOMAN EXECUTIVE TYPE
By Ian Hunter
Since my wife
buys the cream
uses the hair spray
and the sanitary towels
aerodynamically designed
with special wings
she's entitled
when she triumphs
to turn to the camera
clench her fists
say "Yes!"
then glide all
the way home
