Congrats on publishing your poetry!

thank you. It has taken mealt of courage to do it, I am not a fan of criticism, and am sure its just a matter of time before someone hates it so far the feedback has been positive though

I am curently reading a biography on Mary Boleyn. I love English History, and she and her sister were both notorious.....the book is by Alison Weir

Don't worry about criticism. It's healthy and it also gives you perspective. I dabble with my own music. Some people think it's complete crap and other people love and have purchased it (much to my pleasant surprise I have to say). As a result of a small number of sales (but growing) it has given me the impetus to put out an album before the end of the year. Don't ever be discouraged by negative opinions. 99% of people who give bad reviews have probably never made the effort to do something themselves. As the saying goes, they've never built a statue to pay homage to a critic. Not yet anyway.

By the way where do I find this poetry of yours? If I like it I'll buy it. Send me a link or something.

And speaking of poetry, has anyone ever read Peter Hoeg's novels? Tales of the Night is especially brilliant and if ever there was an author whose work flowed like poetry it's him. Amazing ability to see things in incredible detail and translate that vision into words. Probably best known for 'Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow'. Exceptional writer IMO.

the first edition had a 5 star review from the people printing it for me. I had to re-issue it because the proof reader missed a small error.

I think there is a way of previewing it. The most popluar of the poems seems to be The Return

is there anywhere I can check out your Music?

I haven't, but I will check him out. My favourite poets are Seamus Heany, and Carol Ann Duffy looking back now, I smile as Duffy wrote a poem called Oslo. which, nearly 18 years after I read it, is one of my favourite cities, and is actually te setting for my poem, The Return

Maybe a bit childish, but I just read the new Artemis Fowl book. It's a fun series.
