On Friday 16th February I am having an on-line launch of my most recent books – both of which are published the following day – with a short reading from each of them:
– Grimsby Docks ~ A series of twenty-five poems, each written in response to photographs taken during a single morning. In the mid-19th century, Grimsby docks was perhaps the most modern such facility in Britain, its fishing boom occurring during the latter part of Queen Victoria’s reign. Indeed, right up until the 1960s the docks was a lively, thriving place. Grimsby Docks is a modern-day examination of this once thriving industrial landscape through photography and poetry.
– 17 Alma Road ~ Serialised in full on my Substack site, Writing until the light goes out, 17 Alma Road is a story of how a house filled with history and secrets is more than mere bricks and mortar. Not only a mirror on the past, it can also be a window to the future.
The event – via Zoom – will commence at 19:30 UK-time and run for approximately one hour. In order to register for a link to the event, please register on this web page.
I look forward to seeing you on the 16th February.
