I "put the sword down" over 20 years ago, now. 23 years lucky service - the nearest I got to the field of battle was flying overhead at 12,000 metres listening out for SAM batteries comms. Others are not so lucky. This is for them. #Weshallrememberthem, too.

Vera Clark's 'Clavicembalo col piane e forte'
Horrific, gripping and as vivid an account of spousal abuse as ever I will read, I'm sure. Very fine writing, indeed, and that's why it's today's Pick of the Day.

These will soon be the three books of #poetry I've had/self published. It doesn't have to be fey, although there's nothing wrong with sentimental poetry - there is even some of that in these three books. And a lot that isn't.
