Thanks for your message, Jim, both copies of it. What was being read was
Johan de Wit's poetry. It's pretty uncompromising, but witty, no pun
intended
Worth looking up
I publish a couple of pamphlets under Mainstream and RWC - which I will
quote you sterling for if you tell me where you are
but he has self-published a fair few pamphlets and has some from Writers
Forum
I am making an author page for him for EPC so you'll soon be able to read
all about him and a sample of his work

a
