It amazes me that this is now the third time in the life of this blog that I can show you a photo like this:

Don’t they look beautiful, despite my usual inexpert display?  With so much of my attention still turned towards my Asian tour for A Clash of Innocents (I leave in 2 weeks!), I was afraid that this poetry collection, so dear to my heart, would be lost in the mix.  But now that the book is here and I can hold it in my hands, I’m just as excited as ever.  My last blog linked to a sampling of these poems that were posted on Peony Moon. Some people had trouble with the link.  This is a better one here.  Do go read some and see what you think.  I’d love your thoughts on them.  And if you are tempted, you can buy the book directly from Ward Wood here.  And once again, here are the details of the launch, proceeds of which go to help support the Camden Cold Weather Shelters.  Do come along if you can:
