Poetry review - Dr Coutts

2012-12-16 - Regarding my poetry I would like to share some of Dr A.Coutts' opinions, like, 'unequivocably  honest', easy to understand yet never banal ...with different depths of meaning... He suggested that I write poems about the Portuguese shipwrecks along the East Coast of South Africa. He lived in the area. Dr Coutts was deputy-rector of Edgewwod College and has doctorates in Education and Philosophy. Also a writer, his last novel - I forget the name now, sorry! - was about the tragedy of the San or Bushmen in the Drakensberg. Very interesting!At that presentation at Live Poets Society on the 7th of November, he asked me to insert my poem 'If I was a Tree' at the end of his new book - with which I felt honoured.
   O, well...  I have travelled a long often lonely road, indeed. It is good to feel support.
To all my friends kind enough to read my blog, I wish love and peace, compassion and the realization that ...'I don't know!'...   'Bye now!
