Charity Anthology in aid of Alzheimer’s Disease – Tales of Fantasy and Magic by Julie Ann Bowmaker
A very good cause. Kevin
Smorgasbord - Variety is the spice of life
Today’s featured book is an anthology of poetry Tales of Fantasy and Magic by Julie Ann Bowmaker. The collection is a tribute to a very special man, Julie’s dad, Graham Charles French who passed away in May 2012 from Lewy body dementia. Like other books that donate proceeds to charity you will not find this anthology on Amazon, as to lose a large proportion in commission would defeat the object.
What is Lewy Body Dementia?

Old School Caps
“We spread rumours about the man above then, when he is replaced …”.
Being blind, I can not see his face.
His voice says private school.
The man’s a fool.
A girl’s upper middle class laugh brays
In response to what he says.
I think of dorms
And cricket on the lawns.
I dwell on old school caps
And half educated prats.
A harsh judgement perhaps
For we all lapse
From time to time
When wine
Gets our tongue
And inane songs are sung.
I went to a boarding school.
No doubt played the fool
And disre...

Kevin In The Lion’s Den
Yesterday, I entered the lion’s den and survived to tell the tale! There where 20 lions in total. They sat in silence for most of the time, the quietness of the room being occasionally punctuated by an approving roar (sorry laugh) when I (or my fellow poet and colleague, Toby Wheeler) regailed the audience with a humorous poem. At the end of both performances these mighty beasts of the jungle put their paws together and clapped, leaving both Toby and I to emerge to fight another day!
To be wh...

Housekeeping
On Sunday afternoon (7 February) I did some housekeeping. Not the kind entailing vacuuming floors and dusting furniture, no I went through the links on my “About” page and deleted those which no longer function. I had meant to perform this task for a while now but had never quite got round to doing so.
One blogger who has hosted guest posts by me had deleted their site, while another webmaster removed all guest posts (including mine). In both instances anyone clicking on “dead” links would ha...
