I regret that due to unforeseen circumstances over the past few months publication of my book has been delayed. I am only now beginning to catch up on a backlog of very many demands upon my time.
I was hoping to have the book ready for publication by the end of this year. Unfortunately it has most definitely been placed on the back-burner whilst other things have been prioritised.
However, here is another taster of some of the poems contained within its covers.





















The poems are individually numbered; but, there is in no particular order of theme.
I continue to be drawn to the idea of self-publishing the anthology and releasing it as a free download document or to publish it in instalments.

It really is a matter of having let it slip into the recesses of my mind. Hopefully 2023 will see greater movement to having it finished for publication. Thankfully I have no editors on my back about achieving set deadlines.

Between one thing and another it has been put on the back burner. I need to reread and check the the last 100 poems. It has been suggested that I add more (perhaps another 100). I will take my time to think about it; as well as, rethinking self publication. Enjoy your weekend My Friend.

It’s always prudent to give a book enough time to come together in the way you envision. 🙂
