My Poetic Licence
MY POETIC LICENCE, my fifth book of poetry, is out now! The book contains
41 of my best poems and song lyrics from the last ten years, plus a couple
of autobiographical pieces, and is available at all my gigs, by cheque/cash
from my PO box and by credit card from the online shops (both
independent, sound and visited by me!) here and here.
It's being published alongside a 73 minute compilation CD in a slim card cover called
'Spirit of the Age', celebrating 28 years of Attila with 9 live poems, 3 live acoustic
songs and 11 studio songs with my band Barnstormer.
At my gigs and by cheque/cash from my PO Box they are selling for £10 (yes,
that’s all, for both!) plus postage - so from the PO Box £11 in the UK, £13
or €20 in mainland Europe, £14 in the rest of the world. They will be a bit
more expensive by credit card from the online shops, sorry.
