I have always had a soft spot for writing paper and writing pens for these are just some of the pleasures and privileges allowed for those engaged in writingImagine my pleasure then when those fine people at Cult Pens introduced me to the Staedtler 308 Pigment Liner Pen and the Rhodia Head-Stapled Notepad No.18 A4 (210 x 297) Orange PlainThe plain paper is super smooth entirely unobtrusive, the pen glides as the finger would on a glass touchpadThe combination of the effortless though large pen strokes over the easy flowing paper produced a form of writing without form that is without the barriers of time or spaceIn just six months these new poems came into beingAll came with their titles ahead of themAll followed a purpose that never was sure nor clearAnd because I so enjoyed the playfulness of this way I determined to dispatch the punctuation to the scrap heapThat is other than the line breaksThe only rule was one page one poem one day one time

This is a short collection of poems that were first written in 2006, when I was studying creative writing, in the University of Derby (Buxton).I was also at the very beginning of a new relationship, with my partner who lived three hours drive from Buxton, in Louth, Lincolnshire.The poems celebrate the intimacy of our getting together, the easiness of my settling into Lincolnshire, as well as more reflective moments on the journey to and fro.The reworking of the poetry comes at a time when I have more time for my writing, having recently retired.It is also satisfying that very purpose which I thought would be the case when I first started writing, namely the capturing, of moments and memories, to look back upon in my dotage with nostalgia. 17

Part One: The beginnings of a social revolution driven by youth, driven by a couple falling in love, driven by psychological trauma.

Part memoir, part stream of consciousness, part diary, part dream, part story, part disclosure, part hiding, part certainty, part doubt, part me, part all of the people I have ever known; partly for you, partly for everyone. Not to put too fine a point on it, however, to become so assured in its use that I might, for this moment, pause.Take a little pace out of the journey; from mind to hand, from hand to page, from page to the thoughts of the reader, whom I would also ask to determine if they might, for now, slow themselves down, or dance a jig, or stub out their last ever cigarette.Whatever their mood, of which I know nothing; besides, other than that nothingness, such as the rain soddened sea-ferry crossing from Ullapool to Stornoway, I have few images for them to draw upon, other than the mountaintop at 3776.

Poetry written during six trips, a total of twenty-six days, spread over almost eight months in 2018.Madhyamaka Buddhist Meditation Centre is one of our favoured venues. This time I went, on my own, for a couple of days private retreat in early Springtime.Carlton Minnott is the home for the fishing lakes and log cabins which I visited with my son Andrew, he is the fisherman not I. We also had a day out at Ampleforth and Sutton Bank in April's unseasonably good weather.Linklater Voice is on the Orkneys. Kate and I joined fifteen other students to improve our voices courtesy of our enigmatic tutor Kristen. We then moved on to the divine Puffin Quoy for a week of pure relaxation.Emerson College, Forest Row was the location for the Community of Inter-being five day retreat on Loving Kindness. I had been to this place thirteen years previous, on a writing week, in more troubled times.Finally, Kate and I turned up at Glenthorne Quaker Centre and Hotel, for a weekend of resilience meditation, led by Adam Dacey of Mindspace.

The month is July 2016; we went to see the Arctic Monkeys in Bridlington, we also spent much of the week walking around the sun-bathed cricket field at Sewerby.The front cover photograph is indeed from an exhibition at Sewerby; AmyJohnson being from Hull, which is not a million miles away.Amy was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia; her father donated a collection of memorabilia and artefacts to the hall, for them to create an exhibition space in her memory.The Artic Monkeys were top drawer, Alex it seemed was most happy to be back in Yorkshire, even happy to be back in Brid I should say There is a zoo, and consequently there are poems from the zoo, but in all honesty this is a collection more loosely bound than some of the animals to be found there.Enjoy
