"we are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well
​that death will tremble to take us"  - ​Charles bukowski

My about me...

---

     My name is Gordon Connolly; aged fifteen, I launched The BlueBerry Press and then expanded into Genesis Publishing & Leaflets in Print. I then purchased several cinemas and formed Nodrog Entertainment Ltd., and BlueBerry Studios. I lived and worked in London & Los Angeles and now The Cotswolds. Throughout all this I was writing novels, poems & screenplays. It is only recently that I have begun to enter my writing into competitions and online publications. I created this website to share my journey.  Thank you for looking. Gordon.

my latest project...

     I am currently working on a new collection of poetry inspired by the recent crop of television shows featuring naked strangers. This seems to be a form of accelerated intimacy rather than intimacy earned through time and effort and patience?

My 'Art' Collection...

     Over the years I have shopped in designer stores all over the world and I could never bear to part with the gorgeous gift bags my purchases came in. This year, I finally got around to having some of them framed and hung on my walls.
