Photo of Andy Miller’s The Year of Reading Dangerously, laying open, pages down, on my reading table. In the background, an epically stuffed book shelf.
A giant bookshelf absolutely full of books, sort of chaotically piled in there.
Cover of the book “How to be a Poet” by Jo Bell and Jane Commane. Subtitle: A twenty-first century guide to writing well.
Photo of the sun seen through my window, and and some obvious sunbeams cutting through a halo of light, beaming into my living room.
Short video clip of AL Kennedy filmed on my television.
A photo of two books. The same work, but different book covers. A copy from the library on the left with a blue mock-map cover, the copy I own to the right with a globe on top of a stack of books against a yellow background. The book is “Reading the World” by Ann Morgan.
Photo of book cover for “A Literary Tour of Gloucestershire and Bristol. The background image is a painting called “Elegant Women in a Library” by Edouard Gelhay: One Victorian-era woman is sitting on a table, leaning on a stack of books, reading. The other woman is looking deep inside a book display case with glass doors, her back to us.
Photo of the poem Up in the Morning Early by Robert Burns
Photo of a page from “Riding Out” by Simon Parker. It’s a good read, and from that book I learned that Jamaica Inn isn’t just another book title, it’s an actual establishment in Cornwall.
A photo of my writing space (desk, chair) dominated by a very large book shelf absolutely full of books.
