REVISION TIME AGAIN

~ Rodney Wood

I’ve just started the process of actually revising the text. So far I’ve completed  Chapters 1-5 and it does actually make more sense and the characters have started to come alive. I can’t help thinking of that Hugo Williams quote “if you can’t write good poetry then you can’t write good prose.” Bearing in mind the number of time you have to revise a poem I can look forward to spending the next couple of years revising. I wrote a prose piece, since published in the Screech Owl, about my time at Lumb in the 80s seeing Seamus Heaney eat a plate of Jammy Dodgers; it’ll fit in the book without any trouble.

I'm retired and spend my time enjoying my family, continue being an active member of the poetry community and, at the moment, wanting to share what's it's like to write a poem each day while my wife and I enjoyed a world cruise.
