Since 2008 there has been a presence on Facebook by Al Barz. At the time of writing he has managed to dupe fifty-five followers and over five hundred ‘Friends’. At least half of these are personally known to him in some fashion, and most are acquaintances from the worlds of poetry, performance or prison. (Don’t ask.) lots have shared a stage or microphone, or been kind enough to support one or other of his events.
