We here at The Socialist Republic of Free Hairy People are eager to further the cause of The Arts, so we're giving this page over to the poetry of local artist Miranda Wilcox. We're hoping that this will be a regular spot, bringing West London culture to the masses.

For many years Miranda has been one half of the Professional Stage Duo, Godfrey Frimm and Miranda (Nautical Drama and Spectacle).
1992 saw her first major art exhibition, "The Wall of Infamy" at Ladbroke Grove Library, a surreal collage of autographed celebrity items, which included Roddy Llewellyn's cigar stub and the eyes of Eva Braun from a German jigsaw puzzle.

She is unmarried, but shares a house with her professional partner, Godfrey Frimm.

Recently, inspired by my bizarre obsession with Days of Our Lives, Miranda has been working on a collection of poems which she hopes to publish as 'The Days of Our Lives Years'.
Funding is currently being sought from the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Miranda's selection this week is 'Ode to Jeremy Spake'; the prologue to her epic poem about the life of the cuddly TV veteran, excerpts from which we will be featuring in weeks to come..
