Waterstones Censorship, Patrick Jones vs Christian voice -aZeroGodist
August 15, 2010
Waterstones Censorship; Christlams stumping their feet.
A poet has been forced to launch his new collection in the street after a bookstore cancelled the event because of a campaign by Christian activists.
Patrick Jones was due to sign copies at Waterstone’s in Cardiff but the shop cancelled the event at the last moment.
Christian Voice said the book was “obscene and blasphemous” and called on the chain to remove copies from stores.
The company said it was not a censor but felt it was “prudent” to cancel the event because of its duty to customers.
Darkness is Where the Stars Are is a collection of 30 to 40 poems from the Welsh publishers, Cinnamon Press.
Mr Jones, the brother of Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers, had been expecting to launch the book at the Cardiff Hayes branch of Waterstone’s on Wednesday night.
But a few hours before, the poet from Blackwood in Caerphilly county, was contacted by the company to tell him the event had been cancelled “to avoid potential disruption to our store”.
Mr Jones said he was not going to be “beaten down” by religious activists, and signed copies for a small group of people in the street.
“I’m really proud of this book and I’m really sickened.
“There shouldn’t be censorship of this sort – it doesn’t set out to be offensive.”

The Dark Night of the Soul
February 21, 2010
Lyrics are a poem by the Spanish mystic Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
“Dark Night of the Soul,” like much of John’s poetry, is based on “Song of Songs” from the Biblical Old Testament, and also on much of the romantic poetry and lyrics of Spanish popular balladry of that time, i.e., 16th century. The “secret stair” has less to do with a staircase in a monastery, and more to do with the popular theme of lovers meeting for a late night romantic tryst. In order for this to be possible, the young maiden of the song or poem would have to sneak out of the house, by the “secret stair.”
John uses this as a metaphor for the soul in prayer who, by means of contemplation, steals away from the world unnoticed, to meet in loving relationship with God. The dark night refers to the soul’s search for God, beyond the confines of the human definitions we have put upon God.”
