My first book of poems was called 'Hidden Capacity ~ a poet's journey...'
I've started a seperate blog (here) to explain in more detail how I wrote the pieces contained in the book.
Out of a 300 print run, which I published in Ireland in 2003, I've only got 5 copies left.
No, I didn't sell them all, I gave most away as a sort of calling card.
As a poet, it's important to get the first book over and done with, so in my impatience I chose to self-publish. I've discovered from others, your first is never your best and mine was no exception, even though it's exciting to be finally publishing your words, often our heart is too close to the content and we choose the wrong pieces to share.
There are a few in that book which I will probably never live down, but there are also some gems which I'm (and others have told me) very proud of.
So that's no longer available although I have chapbooks of various collections which I'm happy to print on demand for a nominal fee.
My poetry appears on the web in the most unlikely places, so just google and see, then if you like, contact me.
But I write for the page, stage and screen, so will elucidate further... later.
May your muse always amuse.
