I think it's so important to be aware of the gift of life. How wonderful it is to have known the rose.

A compelling, competent poem.

Hi,

I love the twixtmas joke. But more seriously I have been reading your first novel 'Gibbous House' and am absolutely enthralled by it. I would recommend it to anyone. It is elegant and erudite and full of an empathy with the past....

Enjoyed.
