Bio Sketch
Alan Summers is co-founder of Call of the Page, and founding editor of The Blo͞o Outlier Journal. He believes it’s essential to keep baking bread while creating innovative toppings from marmite and marmalade, not always at the same time, to other delights!
This linear portmanteau has more than a one-track mind.

And the quick pace of this one-line format enhances the haiku, thematically and emotionally.

train journey
the spreadsheet
of city lights
