About the Book

PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING!

Poems make you think about things,

they can make you laugh or cry

and this book will help two Charities,

so get out your money and buy!

Then you can read it at your lesiure

or when going to work on the bus,

take the book on the loo with you,

no one will make a fuss!

Then tell all your friends about it,

get them to buy one too,

because these windows could open up

new things for them and for you!

A collection both intellectually and emotionall stimulating…profoundly philosophical in places, endearingly jokey in others…replate with historical and cultural allusions…selflessly self-revelatory with regard to profound human feelings…A sensitive and sensual mastery of language. (Independent Review.)

About the Author

Now in his early fifties, Stuart's seen a lot of things in life. Somehow he has managed to become a qualified Social Worker and has a Bachelor of Philosophy in Child Care from Birmingham University. When he started off, this wasn't part of the plan, but that's how life goes! People say he has a quirky sense of humour and view on life and he is passionate about giving the unheard a voice. Most of his working life has been spent working with vulnerable people, especially children.

His own journey through life hasn't always been an easy one. He is no stranger to personal heartbreak and tradegy, having experienced both positives and negatives in his life so far. His writing reflects these experiences in a way that is both easy to understand and accessible to everyone. If you know him, you might say he's very interesting to talk to as he has lots of interests. Rock music and history are two of his passions, along with football, especially Bilston F.C. and the Wolves. People who get to know him, even for a short while say that they don't forget him; often something that he says or does will come back and make sense to them somewhere down the line.

Stuart likes to travel and his writing reflects this with lots of observations on what he has seen or experienced. he is also a grandparent so stays in touch with what little people get up to! He doesn't claim that these 'windows' are true for everyone, but as you read through his observations, hopefully you can use them to reflect on your own world and open a few windows of your own.
