My Forthcoming Collection of Poetry (An Update)

9 Replies

I have now received the proof-read manuscript of my forthcoming collection of poetry, “My Old Clock I Wind And Other Poems”.

So what inspired the title of my collection?

On the bookcase in my living room sits a Ting-Tang clock which dates, I believe from the early 1900’s.

The clock inspired the first poem in my collection (and the title of the book) and is entitled, appropriately enough “My Old Clock I Wind”.

As I wound my faithful old time piece I felt acutely aware of time passing. The pendulum swings and another second is, forever lost.

Next Tuesday (4 April) my friend, Jeff will take a photograph of my clock, which will adorn the front cover of “My Old Clock”.

The photograph and the manuscript will then wing it’s way to my publisher who will produce both an electronic and print version of the book, (I plan to use Moyhill who published my collection of poetry, “Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind”, http://moyhill.com/lost/.
