The eBook of my anthology ‘Wandering About’ is free to download on Amazon, 15th to 20th November. Please help yourself.
This from a review of last year:
Here is a poet with working-class origins who writes of his native North-East England as well as further-flung places with love and deeply-felt knowledge. Vignettes of ship riveters, soldiers, fishermen’s wives and ‘handy-women’ vie with tales of saints, Saxons, Celts and ancient man. There are terrifying and poignant sea stories. Many of the poems are clearly rooted in the poet’s own family history and personal memories. Flora and fauna inhabit the book in living detail, and several poems travel through layer on layer of geological time, with ecology a clear concern. These are themes of the hands as well as the brain, with an invigorating effect.
By Dafydd – from his review of Harry Nicholson’s ‘Wandering About’ in the arts magazine, ‘Urthona’.
I’ve read your poems before, Harry. You write genuine poems, second to none.
Thank you for letting me read them.
Thank you, kind sir. Your words help keep me going.
I’m enjoying it tremendously – Very evocative, thank you.
Thanks, Alan. That is cheering to learn on this soaking wet day.
Hello, Neil. I’m pleased you have it – only 15 have so far taken up the offer. I’m within 3 or 4 chapters of finishing the next memoir. I’ve a friend, an elderly ex-army major in the tanks – he is writing his own memoir. Some of my present efforts go into editing his work.
regards
Harry
