Introduction

This collection was first published in electronic form on the Lulu website in 2008, although it had been prepared years before that, like many of the collections I have written that stayed in drawers and never saw the light.

It is now being printed on paper for the first time, to become the third of my collections published so far. I have added some poems to it, and removed others.

I present it to the reader, to judge in its favour or against it.
