THE BOOK OF HOPES AND DREAMS

I'm writing to let you know about my latest publication, a charity anthology of poetry, called "The Book Of Hopes And Dreams". This anthology will raise money for Spirit Aid ( http://www.spiritaid.org.uk ), to provide medicines, doctors, nurses and mobile clinics for the people of the remote Baglan Province of Afghanistan, who have had little or no medical facilities for a quarter of a century... as detailed in the documentary, "Children Of The Rubble", directed by David Hayman (head of Spirit Aid's operations)

This book features many award-winning and internationally respected writers, including Simon Armitage, Margaret Atwood, Moniza Alvi, Alan Brownjohn, David Constantine, Cyril Dabydeen, Carol Anne Duffy, Ian Duhig, Ruth Fainlight, Vicki Feaver, Elaine Feinstein, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Charles Ades Fishman, Magi Gibson, Alasdair Gray, Tony Harrison, John Heath-Stubbs, Michael Horovitz, Mimi Khalvati, Tom Leonard, Robert Mezey, Edwin Morgan, Lawrence Sail, Penelope Shuttle, Jon Stallworthy, Anne Stevenson and many others.

The book will be published this autumn, but a special, limited edition of 250 numbered copies will be available on 31st August to those who place an advance order. You can find out more about The Book Of Hopes And Dreams and read the biographies of all the contributors on my Web Site

If you would like to order an advance copy, click on this link: http://www.bluechrome.co.uk/store/shop/item.asp?itemid=126&catid=60 (NB: you can pay in various currencies and the publisher is willing to ship worldwide)

I do hope you will consider buying a copy, maybe even buying several copies as they'll make ideal gifts for friends and family. Maybe you could also mention it to members of your writer's circle? It's for a very good cause, and at the same time it's an excellent collection of poetry.
