Someone somewhere will ALWAYS notice.
I want to dedicate the event to the memory of the founder of Shoestring Press, John Lucas, who passed away recently. I’ll be reading from my 2 Shoestring books, as well as some new work John had originally planned for a new collection this month by Shoestring, now closed with immediate effect.

Unpublished late poems by Charles Tomlinson, marking ten years since his death. These have been transcribed from Charles’s notebooks by his daughters, Juliet and Justine, and published by Dare-Gale Press. This little book is a poignant jewel.

October 12th from A Walk in Winter (Enitharmon Press, 1989).
My father and his father both died on this date, 35 years apart.
We all have our own ‘October 12ths’. Call it by any other date, it’s the same. Dates - like places - can grow from being ordinary to extraordinary in an instant.

John Lucas has passed away. No words to express feelings at this time. I, as many other writers and poets, owe him an immense debt as a publisher, a critic & friend. On a card I had from him only a week ago he’d written: ‘We shall meet for a drink again.’ I look forward to that John.
