My collection presents twenty two of what I refer to as my "Proper poems",
those longer and classically structured works that evoke a time when the
demands and rigours of poetry made it something special. Following on
from these are a selection of my verse tweets from my social media
presence: forty seven variously humorous, pointed, poignant, downright
silly, but invariably multilayered and always thoughtful verses in less
than a hundred and forty characters - a master class in concision.
This volume then concludes with three of my short stories, one a prelude
to my Dica series of speculative fiction novels, one a reminiscence from
my own childhood days, and one a ghostly tale set in the Yorkshire
Dales. |

I was honoured in 2015 to announce that I was the featured poet for the month of
August on the Leaveners' arts website, in their 'Poets' Corner'. Three a
week of my poems were published there over the course of the month. One
was also exhibited in their community partner's 'P
Cafe'
in Birmingham , UK, during September. My thanks go to them as well for
their kindness in hosting it.
This is a most laudable charity organisation that does much to support the arts
- so, your support for them would be most appreciated, I'm sure. Please
pop along and have a look around their site by clicking on their logo to the
left - I think you'll find it well worth the visit.
