HB: Ever been pissed off that you're flat broke and writing books which never seem to sell any copies while all your City mates - and former work colleagues - are moaning because their bonuses are going to be so pisspoor this year that they'll have to defer upgrading their yacht?
Fear not! Poetry is better than money, even £100s of millions of it. How do I know? Cos Felix Dennis says so, and he's known both. What's more his live poetry tour is a sellout ... and the fact that he supplies free booze copiously and of excellent quality is neither here nor there. Shame on you, for dreaming to think otherwise.
I'm interested in all this, because I'm just gearing up to start researching my next book - a kind of travel book, where the land I'm journeying into is the Land of Money. I'm going to be talking to millionaires & billionaires - but also talking to those involved in Aid & Development - and to $4 a day manufacturing workers in China - and Wall St hedge fund managers - and so on. It'll be a bloomin' fun book to research methinks ... and if any of you happen to be reclusive trillionaires with a yen to be interviewed, then please just drop me a line ...
