C.W. BushShow poetry

G'day one and all. My name is Chris (although I pen as C.W. Bush) and I am the artist formerly known as Ravenlord. Why the change? Ravenlord was the handle of my teenage angst phase - and at the age of twenty four I think I've graduated to adult angst.

My dream in life is to write for a living. And after watching far too many episodes of Entourage - to be filthy, stinking rich while doing so. And while I've had a few poems, columns, and short stories published - none have propelled me to the dizzying heights of fame and fortune just yet.

In the meantime, I've just embarked on an adventure in South Korea - working as an english teacher and getting roaringly drunk in my spare time. It's been an adventure so far, and it's only been a month. Eleven more to go!

My main project at the moment is my novel, Letting Go. It's appeared in various incarnations in the past - but this current version (which can be found in the Letting Go collection) is the real deal. This is the one I intend to send off to publishers - so any thoughts and criticisms are most welcome. My other half started novels here on AP include The Unraveling and Eight Things to do Before You Die.

I do poetry too, of course. I don't have any real favourites - but others have suggested the likes of Love, To Me; White Rose; and Impossible. I've an eclectic style, though, so I'm sure you'll find something you like. Well, I hope so, anyway.

I am single, so any AP bachelorettes out there can woo me at their leisure.

I won't hold my breath, haha.

If you want to chat, I'm on MSN most of the time (CWBush83@hotmail.com). You can also catch me via email (the same address but at gmail.com).

    Hi Chris...

    just leaving a message...I'm sorry but I enjoyed my liberty reading your works...
    What can I say...It's nice to stumble upon your page...feels good...

    I'm talking nonsense...I just want to let you know, maybe you might already have a fan club...but still, you got another fan club from me. I might want to be the President...

  • Araina : Hi! on July 24
    Just thought I'd slide on over here and see how you're doing. I'd comment on your latest poem but looking at the preview I don't think it's safe for work so it'll have to wait til I get home!! How's the novel coming?
