Interview with David Corbett
Name:Â Sleeping Dave Corbett
Submission Title(s):Â ‘No Fear’ ‘Taxi, for Sarah’ and ‘Yellow Flagger’.
What do you enjoy writing?
Experimental and Avant Garde Poetry. Magic Realism, Existential and Contemporary Fiction. I also enjoy writing humour in most forms, particularly surreal, absurd and satirical.
When did you realise you wanted to be a writer?
At art college when I spent more time writing than painting.
What inspires you to write?
Everything.
What obstacles have you faced with your writing?
Dyspraxia and Confidence. Time and Resources.
How do you react to bad reviews or critical comments?
Watch Alec Guiness in Star Wars Episode IV, the moment after the death star destroys Alderaan.
What is your submission(s) about in Restless Minds? (Without giving away any spoilers)
– The poem ‘no fear’ is a sneer on the post-modern condition.
– The poem ‘Taxi for Sarah’ is an elegy.
– For the short story “Yellow Flagger”, google “Daniel Cooper Land Rover” and  “Mechanophilia” This piece was originally inspired by the ideas of “Imagism” an early 20thcentury English literary movement that involved Ezra Pound and DH Lawrence.
Have you ever been published elsewhere?
To date just some short pieces in pamphlets and arts publications. I’ve also been lucky to have some plays broadcast and acted out on internet radio station. See the below links.
What is your favourite book and film?
Pass.
What are your writing ambitions?
Pass.
Can you offer any advice for aspiring writers?
Don’t let the bastards get you down.
Do you have a Website(s)?
I don’t have a site yet but Restless Minds will be the first to know when I do, so watch this space!
