Hi DB! A poetry book by a good poet always deserves one’s nod of approval. Congrats on this!
Thanks for the kind comments KD. Most appreciated. It’s a selection of some poems/lyrics/ballads from a book published by Ginninderra Press a few years ago. I hope to put up a few extracts up soon.
Sounds good, DB – more poetry should be on this site, I reckon – it has a rightful and valuable place on the rich tapestry that is The Footy Almanac, in my opinion.
Three cheers for poetry!!!
