Good news!

The paperback version of Counting Magpies is imminent! I will also be releasing a limited edition edition. The limited edition will contain three bonus poems and will be signed by my own fair hand. If you choose, I will also hand write one of my poems of your choice inside the book.

In the meantime here is a poem from Counting Magpies – a sneak preview!

Click on the picture of the book to take you to Amazon.

 

War Child

 

War child, far child,

not in my back yard child,

foul flies, infesting eyes,

freely grief is advertised.

Blasé news, propaganda views,

stretchered to the blues and twos.

Feuding plans, dividing clans,

charity absolving man.

Splitting heads, landmines, legs,

rubberneck, the child who begs,

behind the eyes, traumatized,

rape and murder legitimized.

Arms and gear, year on year,

dealers, spreadsheets, profiteer,

bankers, warlords, politician,

making schisms, capitalism.

War child, far child,

not in my back yard child.

Janice Foley is one of my favourite artists – to celebrate my 50th Birthday I commissioned a painting from her.  I asked her to base it on my poem ‘Le Lievre de la Lune’. This is what she came up with – It’s fabulous isn’t it? (Click on the painting and it will take you to Janice’s page).

The Selfless Hare

There is a story behind the painting which is told in the poem, ‘Le Lievre de la Lune’. You can find out the story in my latest anthology, ‘Counting Magpies’. Click on the book cover to take you to the Amazon page. You can purchase a copy for £1.99 on Kindle 🙂

Hello!

Well… this Sunday is a very special day – it will be my half century birthday! Yikes, how did that happen? You lovely people have already made it a special month by purchasing copies of my new anthology and pushing it to number 3 on the Amazon Kindle Poetry charts.

I would like to ask a big favour – if you have had chance to flick through and read ‘Counting Magpies’, could you leave me a review on Amazon and Goodreads – that would be like an extra super birthday present! If you would like to buy a copy of ‘Counting Magpies’, please click on the links below to buy a copy for £1.99.
