Another one of my anagrammatic poems. It was accepted for the forthcoming Divan 8 at the beginning of 2010 but there seems to be a funding problem so I\u2019m sure Earl won\u2019t mind if I air it on my own website before it passes its use-by date.<\/span><\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t have any particularly doctrinaire views for or against genetically modified food, the subject has long interested me. The ethical possibilities of this science-in-infancy are obvious, from the Light side of drought-resistant plant genes to feed the world to the Dark side of companies owning exclusive rights. GM animals with synthetic versions of natural microbes in their rumens soon available!<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile I went through a stage of being obsessed with anagrams. The relatively new word \u2018recombinant\u2019 interests me (see vocabulary of the beach<\/a>), so I explored its permutations. Serendipity! Ambient corn<\/em><\/span>, bent in macro<\/em><\/span> and met in carbon<\/em><\/span> seemed prophetic. The rest just fell into place\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
