Band Members: Not really band members but certainly people worthy of a mention. -
Dan and Julie from Flux Gallery Press.
It was Dan who first mentioned to me that I do a book. (So it is all his fault!)
He and I learnt a hell of a lot on the way. Both he and Julie were a real source of support and encouragement throughout the process.
Lisa from Allspunup.com
Not only does Lisa know all there is to know about web site design, but along the way we have become good friends. She now operates as intermediary between me and my muse.
Under her pen name Lisa E Geddes she will hopefully shortly be publishing some of her own poetry.
Bruce from Touchwood Audio
I explained to Bruce that I wanted to record the poetry as a live performance.
He explained to me that it would be much better recorded in the studio
He, of course, was right
Lorraine
Who knows me better than any one else.
Without her support perhaps none of this would have happened.
Influences: My favourite poets are -
Mary Oliver - because it was her poem "The Jouney" which leapt off the page, grabbed me by the throat and said "David, pay attention".
Wendy Cope - because of her ability to reduce things to the smallest number of words. Her "Defining the problem" sums up my entire love life in 34 words. I have seen this lady read live. She is well worth seeing.
Paul Durcan - a wonderful Irish poet with a completely off the wall take on things.
Alden Nowlan - because of his ability to take the mundane and make it somehow magical.
Sharon Olds - I have attended a workshop and a poetry reading by this lady - Truely inspirational
