My dear friend Stuart came to America to visit with his son, and on the way to Frank Lloyd Wight's "Falling Water," they took the time to divert slightly north and meet me at a restaurant in Selinsgrove. There we had a lovely time over food and drink. And after, he asked if I would read a poem that was meaningful to my life right now, and of several possibilities, I finally decided on this one. Unfortunately, as of yet I haven't been able to clean up the static, which grows in intensity throughout the video file. So for now, here is a studio version of my reading (unfortunately devoid of the sound of waves and wind and children) along with a snapshot from the video, with me reading on an upturned boat by the Susquehanna on the nearby Isle of Que.

Hi and welcome to Talking Books - my regular radio show devoted to the written word in all its forms. I interview authors, poets, features writers, editors etc and anyone who supports their work. I am a  writer, researcher, proofreader and editor, published in national publications on the subjects of health (focusing on mental health), women's issues and social history. My book, 'Shell Shocked Britain: The First World War's legacy...' was published by Pen & Sword Books in 2014 and I have since written two more - Death Disease and Dissection and John Keats: Poetry, Life and Landscapes all for P&S. I am currently working on another commission due out in 2026, this time about Harriet Martineau. In my spare time I dabble in fiction and have just completed my first cosy mystery. I have been hosting the 10Radio.org Talking Books show for 10 years now.
