Very pleased to announce..

 

..the publication of the Kindle version of my new collection of verse Steady, Pilgrim which you can order directly from the link opposite. Please feel free to leave a review on Amazon - these reviews are always vital to getting any level of exposure. As always, any feedback is very welcome. I hope you enjoy what you read.

I will blog some of these new poems over the next few weeks so you can see where I'm at.

And let me repeat, at £0.99 or $0.99, this is much more stimulating and still less than half the price of a cup of coffee.

Easter Hymn, by A E Housman

If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,
You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,
Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright
Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night
The hate you died to quench and could but fan,
Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.

But if, the grave rent and the stone rolled by,
At the right hand of majesty on high
You sit, and sitting so remember yet
Your tears, you agony and bloody sweat,
Your cross and passion and the life you gave,
Bow hither out of heaven and see and save.
