I’ve been very busy all week finalising the text and cover for my poetry collection, Minus One. I’m going to publish it next Friday, the 29th January. Would anyone be willing to help with the launch? I can email the text, the cover, photographs and some author facts. If you could write a short review as well, that would be terrific. It’s not a long book, sixty pages in all and the poems are short. I include the title poem and the cover here:
MINUS ONE
My magic circle broken
Minus one
The first one
To close his eyes
At first I hardly noticed
You were gone, but now
Your absence grips my throat
Chokes my breath
How much of you is me?
I have your hands
Your hazel eyes
Your quick dismissive shrug
I have your taste
In books and booze
I hear my voice
Confirm your old convictions
How much of you is me
Stretching to close the circle?
Thank you so much to anyone who is willing to participate.
