It's been a long while since I went to a gig. Quite a few years ago I went to Reading with my younger Brother. I felt too old to be there even then. I was surprised though about how many people of my age and perhaps older were there.
I haven't really been away. I look in pretty much every day, but I admit I have not been very active. That's because I have not written very much new work this year. Mostly I've been editing or trying to improve old stuff.

This is a wonderful piece or poetic prose perfectly describing the magic of dawn.
This is so well crafted it gave me goosebumps as I read it.

I must admit I've been a bit remiss at reading your excellent poems, (and reading in general).
