Hi again. This is a cheek, of course but at last my first work of poetry will be on the shelves on 30th September. It’s 50 odd pages of high quality verse, from laugh out loud to grab the tissues. Of course it is…
This, therefore is a bit of a random request to see if there are any poets, poetry lovers or simple book lovers who’d like to offer me a slot to pop my book in front of your audience. If you are so inclined then, of course I will happily reciprocate if ever you need the exposure to my gallant and patient following.
If you are interested and would like to read the same, let me know and I can pop you the poems. Equally, any post can have me interviewed, talk about writing poetry (or indeed any aspect), answer any questions or whatever format you’d like.
In terms of when, any time after the 30th would be great but if you’ve a slot to fill before then simply let me know.
Thank you in advance. Feel free to leave a comment or if you prefer a private chat, you can find me on glepard-at-saqnet-dot-co-dot-uk.
Sorry I haven’t had a chance to respond to your email, but yes I’d be delighted to!

Oops pressed too soon! I’m quite relaxed how you’d like this to work. I can send you the poems and you can have a dander and see if one tickles your fancy and I can write about that, of you can forensically pull it apart… can you remind me the best way to contact you?

brilliant; I wrote a sonnet about the Beijing Olympics that referenced the velodrome. Does that count?! Do you want to let me know how best to contact you Rachel?

Hi Geoff — congratulations on another writing milestone! And yes, happy to host you on my blog. Do you have a time preference, i.e., are you going to stagger your appearances or just blitz them? That will help me for planning purposes. I’d have to go back and see what the last interview looked like. Do you prefer an interview or to just riff on poetry? I’m game for anything.

No preferences Pam. A spread would be lovely esp if i gave you the poems and you choose one of two favs to work around. Please remind me of your mail and I’ll send you the poems.

Just finished The Last Will of Sven Andersen. Goodness what a read and what intricate plotting among thieves and thugs! I could probably think up some questions for you to answer in the next three weeks on my blog. I was thinking of emailing you about my enjoyment of the last book, but saw this online as well…

Hi Geoff,
Reviewing a volume of poetry sounds like a very cultured pastime, and I’d only be too happy to oblige. Right at that point Rosie turned up with what she considers to be pure poetry…roughly half a tennis ball with green fur entrails dangling haphazardly awaiting additional words to somehow describe something not really worth mentioning in the first place. I have wondered lately why we added the pups to the fold when our kids are growing up and out of the “puppy stage” and Lady is just happy to lie in the sun and isn’t constantly demanding our attention. However, there’s such richness in this chaos, personality character, love and even poetry. Meanwhile, there’s part of me that would dearly like to fall asleep at my desk and be left alone.
Best wishes,
Ro

Thanks for sending that through, Geoff. I’ve done a once through and am very impressed. I liked the concept of the first half and am intending to at least cross-reference some of the poems with the originals. Well done btw for just putting all of these together. That’s a huge effort in itself.
I am thinking about an angle for my review. Have you noticed any themes?
Thanks,
Ro

Not in the first half. In the second a few are collected by theme but not generally. Mostly they are a homage to the Great writers who inspired me by the originals.
