The first one was written around them time my daughter was born - over
three years ago. "Weary legs bussed through rural effulgence" refers
to the daily journey I was making by bus between Leicester and
Northampton after starting a new job; I later moved to Northampton,
then quit the job, and now go by train to London...
Each individual poem was written fairly quickly; it's just that there
were long gaps between them. I could have set myself the task of
writing one a day. But I quite like the fact that - as occasional
poems reflecting current events or whatever interested me at any given
moment - they cover such a broad span of time.
