MAPPA MONDAY from HUW BRIS by Huw Parsons
A dream poem about John Cabot's voyage to the 'New founde lande' and his subsequent return to Bristol. In the poem I've used thinly disguised lyrics from such icons of Americana as Elvis's 'Heartbreak Hotel,' Chuck Berry's 'Nadine' and 'The House of the Rising Sun.'

Huw Parsons was born in 1954, grew up in Llyswen, near Hay on Wye, and educated at Brecon Boys’ Grammar School and Chelsea College of Art.
He feels neither wholly English nor particularly Welsh, with his life’s diversity a social impostor and a cultural chameleon.
His influences: the poems of John Betjeman & Phillip Larkin, the novels of Leslie Thomas, the song lyrics of Sting & Jake Thackray.
