Policeman's Prose Tim Grace This is a collection of poems written over the last forty-five years: from childhood memories to life in Cyprus as a teenager in the 1970’s, to policing in London during the 1980s and 1990s and time with Customs and Excise. Tim is still in law enforcement. His current role is as an investigator with The Illegal Money Lending Team. He writes about mums and dads and daughters and discusses the question what is love? Homelessness is close to his heart, as the poem about the YMCA and The Tramp illustrates. Then there are his beloved pets, Captain and Brenda, both immortalised in verse. The author shares his raw emotions about Depression and thoughts of suicide and talks about tragedies such as Dunblane and the Twin Tower attacks. |

Policeman’s Prose
Words to be performed from under a table by the last of us
James S M Parker
|
Then, we felt a heat and hell closing in. Soon there will be the realisation that broken will always be broken. But now, we follow the writer, the observer and the lost mind through the various stages of one man’s life using poetry, sketches, short stories and observations. A writer, an observer, a lost mind. A journey inside, outside and beyond the musings of one man. |

Theresa Rhodes
|
Journey for Life's Treasure Theresa Rhodes A poetry book full of treasures for the reader. The treasurers will make you laugh, feel happy, be thought provoking, bring you comfort and peace. The poet has brought to the fore front one poem which describes a person collecting water from the well and used this as a focus to use the proceeds from half of every book to fundraise for the charity CAFOD. She wants to do this as she believes that each poem has been written for other people’s enrichment. Details of CAFOD projects are found on their website cafod.org.uk |

For me, poetry is a form of meaningful conversation in shorthand. If there are a handful of poems and artwork in this collection that speak to you or touch you, we shall be pleased to have found some common ground. Some of the poems have been set to music or have been recorded and can be freely accessed on my website via the poetry tab. www.reinhardtenberg.com All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). |

Caroline Gilfillan5 out of 5 stars Beautiful combination of poems and illustrations
What a beautiful book! I love the combination of poems and illustrations, and the whole thing is immaculately produced. I enjoyed the mix of humour, observation and reflection: the poems are so varied. I had to smile at 'Senior Citizen's Prayer'. Other poems were touching: 'Through the looking glass' and 'Bones in a box', for example. The illustrations are colourful, stylish, witty. All in all a wonderful book, with proceeds of sale going to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), a most deserving cause. Do buy it.
