Sent off the poetry trilogy from A215 last year and am staggered (not false modesty I can assure you) that they actually published this one as it was more of an exercise if anyone remembers the 'Delia Smith' cookbook/recipe advice.
Anyhow it hasn't exactly got Thomas Hardy's fingerprints all over it so I'm not sure if I'm more shocked at being published or the fact that this poem was successful.
My biog is also way off the mark I'm not unemployed,don't watch TV and have a passing interest in roses,then again this could become my alter ego.
In conclusion I suppose we must take and be grateful for any success that comes our way.
But it proves there is hope for us all and as somebody else put it I won't be ungluing the poetry pages of A363 just yet.
