Here’s my latest pile of books sitting on my bedside. As usual I’m in the middle of all of these except for David Marcus’ novel, A Land Not Theirs, which I should probably have read already. I’m really pleased to have William Wall’s Mathematics there on the top. When I started writing poetry, I was intrigued by the mathematics of it and many of my first efforts are rigidly logical…albeit not very good! I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s done properly. I’m already through Martina Evans’ book and I’m very much enjoying it. I love her style. I’m still getting through my Northern Irish poets in their anthology. I keep stopping after each poet for ages but I’ll eventually get there. Steven Sexton is my highlight so far. I also have my latest purchase, A Tug of Blue, awaiting its time to be read.
