"Author role"

It is six weeks since Horizon was published and I have been getting good responses from people I have interacted with who have read my poetry. How it is going down out there in the ether will remain a mystery for some time to come. I have a second book in the pipe line and am getting used to the idea of spending more and more of my time, just writing. The way I use language and the concepts I try to get across are drawn from a lifetime pool of ideas that I desperately want to share with the wider world! I hope my work will give insight to my readers about the human condition. When I was young it was the case with me that "youth is wasted on the young". I hope to alleviate that condition for others so that they may find the road through life with less baggage to carry.
A particular hazard for the young is how they look for their vocation which to my mind is a minefield. My idea is that you have to be able to look at your mind almost as though you were on the outside, looking in at it. The one great tool that marks one out to achieve mental balance is the skill of listening. If you listen well then your judgement is going to be better.
