The more I am exposed to Billy Collins (metaphorically speaking, of course), the more I appreciate him. I knew "Forgetfulness" already, but the other two, "January in Paris" and "Ballistics", were new to me. Thank you, Frances, for expanding my ever-shrinking world.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

I adore this!!! Especially since I am getting so forgetful now. Hi, I come from Monica's blog.
