Getting together five poets, young and elderly, all of whom I know and admire, in one volume, has been a labour of love. There is a time in life when one’s own work pales into insignificance or one wants to serve a cause. Making poetry better known and giving young poets a chance is a goal which appeals to me. It has been a great privilege to explore the worlds of these five friends. Thanks a million, cousin Katie Wooler in Canada, for taking upon yourself the assembly and layout of these beautiful texts. We look forward to the response of our readers.
