Delighted to have my poem Hopper’s Ladies published on the Academy of the Heart and Mind site on January 28th, 2026. My thanks to the wonderful editors. https://wordpress.com/reader/blogs/12...
HOPPER’S LADIES
you stay and growmore mysterioso
but familiar
in my interior-
with voices peeled
full of field
of fruiting orange trees
fertile to orchard breeze
soaked in summer rains
so each refrain all remains.
not afraid of contrast,
closed and opened in the past
and present, this isolation of Hopper's ladies,
sat, thinking in and out of ifs and maybes
in a diner, reading on a chair or bed

“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

Hardy is my favourite novelist..especially Tess and The Return Of The Native. Chandler..superb in that genre..love Bogart and Bacall..The Big Sleep..fantastic dialogue and so many memorable scenes. My favourite poets are Seamus Heaney and W B Yeats but so many others living and dead run them close in certain poems. Joyce's Dubliner's is a good book of short stories to dip into. A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man is short but brilliant..enjoy it for yourself! Ulysees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_..., like Cervantes Don Quixote, is best savoured at one's leisure. I love stream of consciousness.
I have been a Manchester United fan since the age of three and grew up four hundred metres from Old Trafford.
Thankye and take care...Strider
