Any author in the above list who feels so minded may obtain from me a second-hand poetry book by way of 'payment'. I have a couple of boxes crammed full of poetry books collected over several years (mainly reviewed for New Hope International & Pulsar). Details of how to obtain your free book are published along with your poems.
In the space at the top of the first of the 12 pages you may draw, scribble, print or stick your own suitable title or icon for the collection. In that way your personal copy will be unique.
It's a publishing revolution! I've titled my copy Electric Lambs. It's from the poem 'Celebration'.
With best bardic wishes,
Gwilym Williams

ReplyDeleteThank you Marja - can you please check your poems for any typos before you print them off for presents - I wasn't sure if it was "fir" or "fire" - I imagine you making a suitable snowy design for the header,

Baaa from this electric lamb!
ReplyDeleteSlainte, Gwilym.
Baaa to you too, Gordon.
ReplyDeleteIt conjours up a suitable image that phrase 'electric lambs' from Joan Cairns. I think she's my oldest active poet at 89. And she knows a lot about the sheep of the Dales.
Dear Poets, I have sent my thanks to Charles Christian at 'Ink Sweat & Tears' and David Pike at 'Ligden Poetry Society (Pulsar)' - both editors have agreed to mention "your" collection on their websites.
ReplyDeleteThey are always on the lookout for fresh talent with something to say!
