Hello my friends.
Over the last couple of years I semi-accidentally wrote a book of poems called ‘Vespers’.
Well it’s out now and you can buy it right here (click this link or search amazon for ny name and ‘Vespers’). If you like the poems and want to help me out, then five star reviews will help me sell more books in the future. I am all in for a career in mythic arts - it’s what I’m supposed to be doing.
If you buy Vespers within the first year of release then all profits will go to the excellent charity Arts Emergency, which I see as a sort cultural immune response to the erosion of arts and humanities.
Onto the book itself.
The cover is an original painting by my sister, Lisa Kilty, and I love it. If you read the book you’ll feel how it speaks to the essence behind the poems.

Praise for Vespers
‘A book of poems for the walkers and dreamers, for those people who step outside and pay attention to the ‘dreaming world’ which -in the author's lovely words is ‘present as wind.’’
~ Jane Yolen, author of over 400 books for children and adults
‘These poems take us far away from the deadly mechanisms of modernity and into the deeply eloquent lifeways of our animate earth. They open doorways into the forgotten realm of nature’s soul which we so deeply need to rediscover in this time of crisis.’
~ Stephan Harding, author of Animate Earth and Gaia Alchemy
‘Sometimes the beings of our world will tell you who they are, if you listen. The world comes alive and you know you are being seen. These fine poems are a record of such a remarkable event. Take them seriously. Let them guide you into that open field.’
~ Tom Cheetham, author of Boundary Violations and other books
