Aldgedeslegh

an epic poem about events relating to the parish of Audley

No parish is free from its stories of death and misery, Audley is no exception, the underlying motives for the events recounted in this poem are universal and could be transported to any time and any place.

The poem addresses the ever-present spectre of Death who, residing at the parish bounds, readily accepts any invitation to visit, whether by the call of Lust, the pursuit of Power, the drive for Profit or the opportunity to renew acquaintance with his oldest friend Revenge.

The four stories within the poem move on through time, carrying  with them the underlying link of untimely and violent  death, the payment for the price of our imperfect humanity in an imperfect world.

How exciting to see the finished book - well worth all the writing and lino-cutting and many thanks to the Audley and District Family History Society for publishing it - Aldgedeslegh  is available on Amazon  now or direct from me or the ADFS after Christmas - watch out for the book launch

I rarely read poems, but when I do, I make sure that they are worth it. There are lots of people who write poems and not everyone is good. Well, if we all think about it, aren't poems just boring stuff? I mean, why do we all need to write about our feelings? This is the type of thinking that makes people want to hate me, but I cannot really help who I am or how I think, right?
