Hidden Capacity ~ a poet's journey (Pub, Ireland 2003)

2003: 'Hidden Capacity ~ a poet's journey'. My first book of poems published in Ireland with a Preface by Professor Glen Phillips, Director of Landscape and Language at ECU, Mt Lawley Campus, Western Australia.

Three sections: 'The Return of Rainbows' - university study at 50, 'Rail Tales' written on the train journey from home to University, also published later as a chapbook. The final section, 'Exploring Possibilities' focusses on my reunion with the man I should have married 28 years before... in Africa. We've now been married for 20 years.
