LATE BEGINNINGS

About the Book

This book of poems covers the highs and lows of my life so far spanning five decades of verse of what has stayed in my mind. Some of it is quite moving and sad. Some of it, I think, are quite witty and funny and some of it, just what can happen when you are raised in a working class background in a Steel City like Sheffield. I would like to think that more people than my family and friends would like reading this book and hope other people can relate to some of the poems.

About the Author

I decided to write this book of poems later on in my life to relate to others my feelings regarding what has happened in my life over the past five decades. The ups and downs which have stuck in my mind all through my life I feel needed telling by being written rather than by word of mouth. Also, on a more personal note, I have always believed I can write decent poems even at an early age and love the idea of having a book published with my poems in it. I come from a working class background. Born and bred in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Worked all my life making springs in an engineering environment and left school with very few qualifications and basically enjoy being a family man with children and grandchildren.
