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.

Poems for the NHS London launchThursday 17 January 2019, 7:00 pm – 10:30 pmThis is London launch of Poems for the NHS, an anthology including established poets (such as multiple award winners Mimi Khalvati, Penelope Shuttle and Carol Satymurti), up-and-coming poets and new voices, all marking 70 years of the NHS. The reading will include poems about receiving life-saving treatment, about the people who deliver that treatment with empathy and resilience, about friends and family and their intimate journeys and about the impact of both ill-health and the effect of the interventions aimed at curing it. The reading celebrates the fact that access to medical care doesn’t depend on the lottery of good or bad fortune, and we hope it is a fitting way to mark 70 years of an extraordinary institution. All profits from the book are being donated to NHS Charities Together. The anthology is published by The Onslaught Press and edited by Matt Barnard, a London-based poet.

A good place to offer your story though, i was looking forward to join my uncle's book launching ceremony at NHS cafe but unfortunately, due to Covid 19 outbreak we couldn't made it up and i just felt so down due to this sudden cancellation of event for which i acquired essay king service and paid a good amount for my research project.
