Tony Blair - healthy, successful, rich - has, in one of his favourite phrases, "moved on" from governing a major European nation. He's setting up, with his wife, the wealthy lawyer Cherie Booth, the Blair Foundation to promote 'faith' in the world. Well, here's another foundation I'd urge you all to support, The Tony Blair War Crimes Foundation. It's a petition started by two British citizens to urge the President of the United Nations General Assembly and the UK Attorney General to issue an arrest warrant for Tony Blair and to try him for war crimes. Go on, sign it: play your part in bringing a war criminal to justice.
I founded Leafe Press in 2000 and am now co-editor. I've edited Litter magazine since 2005. I was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and I live in Nottingham.
My most recent book is "Variations on Painting a Room: Poems 2000-2010" from Skysill Press. I've also published this translation: Yves Bonnefoy, "Début et Fin de la Neige/The Beginning and End of the Snow" (Leafe/Bamboo Books).

'Faith' - pah! Well done, Alan - I saw your name on the petition and added mine.
