Speaking Truth of Power in 2026
Ashen Royale by Stewart Stafford
Petulant son ascends the throne,
Defender of blood, land and faith,
Feel the asphyxiant king create
The airless tomb of a protectorate.
The skeletal crown’s death rattle,
Alchemy’s past base metal sceptre,
A spectral play looping memory,
What once was, cast to ashes.
The ruler, a merest seat warmer,
Widower’s river to consolation sea,
Altar bread blackens gritted teeth,
Homele

“Knowhere by Stewart Stafford
Poleaxed by vampiric tapping— rattling timeline of a loop lapping— Hypochondriac paranoid toothache, tasting everything I see and break. Showed my tongue to an undertaker; licked his face — proved I’m no faker. A measured, grim diagnosis followed, matter from a cardiac pump hollowed. Draped loosely in a tea towel shroud, resurrected—naked, loud, and proud— Rocket to the pub for a post-wake baptism, a ploughman’s lunch with relish schism. © 2026, Stewart Stafford.

“Today's freedom fighter is a red flag to become tomorrow's dictator. The rebellious growth, radicalised via struggle, attains the decadent corpus to metastasise on any freedoms won.”

“None The Wiser by Stewart Stafford
A blowtorch in my darkness, Flaming my head with "truth"; Regurgitated received "wisdom", Deviated septums only permitted. Envenomed cobra's indoctrination, Inundated with a fellow brainwashee, Love's verbiage fell side-mouthed; Shaved synapses of smoothed minds. Prematurely convention's captives, Identities wiped and rebooted for propagandist lobotomy, Induced comas—murky déjà vu. Age's heft drags down daily, Her "love" archived as interred lie, Slack-jawed deceit now perceptible, Disillusioned departure companion. © 2026, Stewart Stafford.

"Ever since I read The Whisper Man by Alex North I have raved about it. For me, it is up with there with The Silence of the Lambs as one of the best thrillers ever written. I have enjoyed North's last two novels too and have looked forward to The Man "

“When you choose to look down on something, you render yourself incapable of understanding it.”
―
―
“Do not weep for those who have found Death's embrace early, for they weep for us that linger on in this mortal world of pain.”
―
―
“Anyone who dies by their own hand always has my sympathy. It's easy to sit in judgement on another's struggle from the outside without ever living in their suffocating darkness. If there is an explanation left behind, it usually confirms how relentlessly harsh and unfair they were on themselves. Mourn their release with mercy and gratitude for doing what they were capable of in their short lives.”

“Though we come and go, and pass into the shadows, where we leave behind us stories told — on paper, on the wings of butterflies, on the wind, on the hearts of others — there we are remembered, there we work magic and great change — passing on the fire like a torch — forever and forever. Till the sky falls, and all things are flawless and need no words at all.”

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
― The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx
― The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
