Thats about it and the chips are in and its International Christmas Day here in Southampton UK ..... and I was keen to celebrate
and phone family and just take things lying down.
Not so as the case turned out to be ........ I was presented with ...
The Hilton Honours Pen for
Poetry on:
Christmas Day 2007
by
The Staff
at the Hilton Hotel,
Chilworth,
Southampton: UK:
Wow! Can this really be true! It is and its not since 2005 when I received the Forward Press in the UK was I so excited - and it was a great asset and helped enormously with my career as a poet and dont I
know it ........... I was something of the shy author and didnt know it but this latest PEN from Hilton Hotel in 2007 should be the push I need to get me up there with the International Best Sellers in Poetry on this front line here with poetry.com in the United States of America in 2007 ...
Until this point in time I had not considered being a BEST SELLER and have held to fanship of:
Wendy Cope
Pam Ayres
two women poets who are second to none on the International Arena of Poetry in English! And now its my turn to take a step up ......... move over Darling! and look out Girls! I am on the way UP! Great poetry breeds great poets ........... excellent stuff!
THANK YOU : Hilton Hotel Southampton: UK: ....
