Thanks Valerie. I'm pleased you enjoyed Convoy. I know what you mean about social media. One could spend all day on one website or the other and never get any writing done!

Thanks for the friend invite Caroline - I sometimes find it hard to keep up with all these great sites but give it my best. I really enjoyed Convoy - powerful insight into real life events and the people caught up in them.

Thanks for accepting. I look forward to chatting about books.

Thanks for the friend invite :)

Caroline, I just noticed a page on Poetry Foundation's website about David Jones and his art, that also includes a link to an essay on him by Tom Sleigh: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harri...

So glad to meet you on here. I'm very excited about this upcoming course. It's been years since I've taken a poetry course, and I'm a bit rusty. I love that you're reading Czesław Miłosz. I really enjoy his poetry. I don't know anyone else who's heard of him.
Take care!

Thanks Geevee. Glad you enjoyed it. There is more about the men in the poems on my blog if you wanted some background although some of them like Tom Neil you probably know about already.

Just read it Caroline well done - and great work too :)

I hand't spotted that Convoy is featured in the Guardian

Hi Mark
Thanks for accepting. Happy to talk books with you too. You could put 'Out of the Blue' onto your military shelf, that would fit.

Hi Caoline,

Thanks for the friend invite. As to how "A Dangerous Thing" ended up on my military shelf...no idea - lol! Probably my finger slipped on my ipad when sorting, which happens very often.

Looking forward to talking books with you.

Thanks Na, that's most kind of you.

Thanks for friending me, Caroline! :-D

My first collection is now listed in the Inpress catalogue (p39) for publication in May

Hey Caroline, I've started the collected Auden. This is supposedly all the poetry that Auden himself wished to have preserved for posterity. Personally, I could have done without the first 40 pages, which consisted of one weird play and poems in which he suffered from an "a" and "the" phobia. The first poem that really struck me as accomplished is "The Watchers," which was written when he would have been about 25. He certainly had impressive talent at a young age! And his versatility is evident even though I'm only on page 70. I think the variety will make the 673 pages of poetry an interesting read.

Hello Caroline,

How are you? Thank you for accepting my friend-request. I wish you all the best.

Please visit these groups when you have a chance: Happy & Brainy Group, To the Glory of Man, Reason Reigns, and Goodreads Tea Party. Have a marvelous Friday and weekend. Warmest regards.
