    Paul Whybrow

    Paul Whybrow has a young head on old shoulders. Ex many things, including being a teacher, counsellor, librarian, dispatch rider, milkman, postman, bar man, house renovator, classic vehicle restorer, courier, van driver, factory worker, project manager, live-in carer for the elderly, editor, photographer, volunteer at a community centre, play-schemes, homeless campaigns and nature conservation projects. I wrote non-fiction magazine articles for ages, but turned to creative writing in the summer of 2013. I've been my own boss for a long time, which means I'm working for an idiot and the pay is lousy—but the holidays are great. Paul Whybrow has a good heart inside a battered chest.

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      Nobody died that year. Nobody prospered. There were no births or marriages. Seventeen reverent satires were written – disrupting a cliché and, presumably, creating a genre. That was a dream, of course, but many of the most important things, I fi nd,
