A Thought for Today
The gypsy has it right: Wander, leave off
yesterday in favor of tomorrow.
Ken,
While I've always enjoyed Rod's books of poetry I've long believed some of
his best work was to be found in the Folios.
Sadly mine were destroyed in a fire some time back and I've missed them.
Please publish anything from this wonderful collection of his work.
Anthony Hammond
The only difficult thing about
your request, Anthony, is choosing which one to publish! In the end I
settled on the very first poem published in the very first Folio way back
in 1974.
They are a wonderful
collection of his work, aren't they? My collection is one of my most
cherished possessions and I seem to remember reading somewhere that a few
leather bound editions of the collection were produced. Now that
would be something any serious collector would love to get their hands on!
Thanks for the letter,
Anthony.
As usual, the address for your
contributions is ken@mckuen.com and I
hope to hear from you soon.
- Ken, Johannesburg,
October 24
