Braille Editions of My Books

7 Replies

As a registered blind person and a user of braille, I believe that my books should be available in accessible formats, including braille.

“My Old Clock I Wind” is available in braille for loan or sale, from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).

To order please email library@rnib.org.uk, or call RNIB on 0303 123 9999 (quoting order number 25870603.

“Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind” is also available in braille from RNIB, and can be ordered (as above), by quoting order number 25686204.

Due to the Corona virus, the RNIB transcription service is not currently accepting orders for the production of braille books. I am, however working with a private transcription company arranging for my recently released poetry collection, “Light and Shade” to be transcribed into braille.

If you are interested in obtaining “Light and Shade” in braille, please email me at kmorrispoet (at) gmail dot com, putting “Light and Shade”, Braille edition in the subject line of your message. (My email address is rendered thus in an attempt to defeat spammers).

All of my books are also available, with text to speech enabled, from Amazon, which ensures they can be read by those who are unable to read print.

“Light and Shade” is currently not displayed on my author page. It can, however be found by clicking here, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B37VVKV/.

The Kite

Leave a reply

The delight
Of a kite
Flown high,
In the sky.

And when she descends
Her “Friends”
Will help her fly
High, again.
And forget her pain.

He who buys
A kite
Flies high,
And may touch the sky.

But does that middle-class guy
(Who does not supply)
Share the blame
For a kite
That burns in flight?

A 5 Star Review of my book, “Light and Shade: Serious (and Not So Serious) Poems”

2 Replies

I was delighted to receive the below review of “Light and Shade: Serious (and Not so Serious) Poems”:

“it was amazing
This is another enjoyable collection of poems by this author, where the poems are split in to a couple of different sections: one for more serious and
thought-provoking poetry, and another for humerous poetry. As is generally the case with collections like this, while I liked all the poems, I did enjoy
some of them more than others, with “The Point of Poetry” and “The Weather Was Chill” being my favourites from the first section of this collection, while
“Vanity” and “When a Young Lady Named Leigh” were my favourites from section two.

*Note: I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. This fact has in no way influenced either my opinion of the
book or the contents of this review.”

At Dead of Night

“Dalliance” was the first collection of poetry published by me. Or, to be absolutely accurate, the first collection of poetry (and prose) to be published by mme.

One of the poems appearing in “Dalliance” is entitled “Midnight”

You can find “Dalliance” here, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24498367-dalliance, and here https://www.amazon.com/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E/

Light and Dark

4 Replies

Light and dark
Is the park.
Sometimes sunlight breaks through
The trees,
And the poet sees
The fact, that you
And me
Find, in our mind
Both light and dark
And we
Must be
Forever part
Of the dark,
In the end
My friend.
