- Avid reader - fiction and non-fiction.
Hate romance. Love crime.
Love buying secondhand.
Love my public library.
I've given so many books away over the years, either to friends or to charity shops. I don't usually give my non-fiction away now but I haven't listed all the books I use for teaching English. I don't usually list the fiction I read except for those very special books.
Actually, I do now list some fiction as sometimes I forget what I've read of a particular author! - Over mij
- Avid reader and gardener.
Retired proofreader and writing advisor for university students.
Have taught in China, Sri Lanka and Libya.

The Library Ticket (by me)
This orange passport
Like an envelope, well-addressed
Slotted into her life
Pages fell open
The central spine
Was fraying, tearing
Like an offspring pulling away
Adolescence
A ticket to her own mind
Its secrets locked like a story
Until escape
At the final chapter
I wrote this poem at a poetry writing day (believe it or not) at the Friend's Centre in Brighton, sometime in the early 90's. I was an Adult Literary Skills and an ESOL tutor there for several years. The poem is in memory of my very first library membership: Charleston Library, Lower Kersal, Salford. Sadly, this place is no more. It's where I first read Nancy Drew books in my late primary and then early teenage years. Born 1954.
