36 Exposures – Go Live
imminent!
The final stages of editing are coming to an end and it looks as if 36
Exposures – the collection of poems and dittologies – will indeed be on your
virtual shelves very soon! The collection is dedicated to Maurice Henry Gamble
and a percentage of all sales of 36 Exposures will be donated to Vibrance Care Homes UK where Maurice spent many years of his life, helped by the wonderfully
dedicated and caring staff who work there (thanks goes out to Marilyn for a beautiful account of Maurice's life at the home) .
A pre-launch snippet from 36 Exposures:
Serendip
When you come, usually brusque in
step
With a smile and the way you have
of stooping slightly
Forwards through the finishing
tape to the future,
So the magic begins.
It startles me – these sudden
magpies and their ritual dance,
The unexpected opening of doors
and sunshine just on us.
And why should everything reveal
an interest,
The mundane uncover such wild and
wonder?
It is the beginning, I know – but
it still enchants.
We have not touched, just talked.
And yes, you old, ageless
conspiracy –
You’ve hooked us on a lovely
spell.
