Well done Judy - looks like it's an amazingly evocative collection of poems - to be read slowly and with mind-provoking ideas that will punch through ...

Good luck with it - love the video and the music - gorgeous to see .. cheers Hilary

Congratulations! This looks fantastic. LOVE the book trailer. I'm adding my name to the give-away. Wish me luck.

HILARY: thanks - so glad you enjoyed the video & music, I had just watched THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN a brilliant tragic movie about a bluegrass band, I loved the haunting quality of the bluegrass music, so that's what ended up in the trailer for "stranger". :) Hope you've been enjoying your blogging break!

ANNE: I'm (modestly, one hopes!) pleased with this collection - I think I'm improving with each book! If you don't hit the jackpot in the giveaway, drop me an email ... :)

JUDITH: Thanks for popping by - always great to 'see' you & hope you've had a good northern summer! I'm really pleased with this book & looking forward to hearing what everyone has to say about the poems! Hope your own writing is going well - popped over to visit your blog, and see you're also taking a blogging break. :)

You know, I read that back cover over and over and it makes me so homesick for my homeland. I left England when I was eight. Oddly, I'm always torn. I don't know where I'm from.....

Hi Sharon and thanks for your comment - I've been in Switzerland & Italy for the past three weeks, so apologies for delay in replying. Yes, most people who have moved from their homeland never fully rid themselves of an underlying sense of alienation, no matter how well they assimilate into the new culture. The title poem of this book deals directly with that issue. It can also be read on a spiritual level, where "home" is the Divine Source and, ever since Eden, we've been alienated from that Source by our humanity. Hope you're not so homesick today! :)
