[About]

"What is a yonderman?" "Who are you?" "Who do you think you are?" These questions have been yelled at me from passing vehicles, and they deserve honest answers.

"Yonderman" is a term from one of my poems. It refers to someone who has heard the term "Wild Blue Yonder" and wants to go there.

I am Shane Shennan. I think I am half monk, half cyberpunk and half poet. This website is where I post my creative stuff.

[Yondercast]

Yondercast is my twice-a-month 15-20 minute audio podcast! Hear nifty poetry, zany flash fiction and some heartfelt words from a would-be poet. All this, plus podsafe music and interviews!

Envy 2.0

You and your podcast!
You and your blog!
You and your shameless self-promotion,
you and your stupid labour of love.

You and your night owl hours,
you and your "Heard my latest episode?"
You and your online community,
You and your "I blogged about my cold!"

I'm sick of you constantly telling me
how all this new media is
giving people real choice.
I'm so tired of hearing
how many people visited your website
and how many downloaded your voice.

(Say, do you mind helping me start my own podcast?)
