As I Please
Welcome to Barney F. McClelland's Blog. This site was named after George Orwell's column "As I Please" during the Second World War. During that time, he critiqued many of the follies of his time with wit, precision and plain old common sense.I hope to do the same regarding the fashionable nonsense of our day.
"A certain degree of truthfulness was possible so long as it was admitted that a fact may be true even if you don't like it. "

About Me
- Name: Barney
- Location: Portland, Maine, United States
Barney F. McClelland is currently living in the "other" Portland. He occasionally takes time out from expounding on Hobbesian eschatology and the intricacies of Irish hornpipes, to publish poems, stories and articles in Ireland, the U.K and the States. His work has appeared in Cairn, The Meridian Anthology of Contemporary Poetry, Aura Literary Arts Review and The New Formalist. In 2001 he was awarded the KotaPress Anthology Award for Poetry.
In his spare time, Mr. McClelland enjoys reading the works of dead white European males, smoking cigarettes, and plotting revenge.
