> I'm writing to let you know about my latest publication, a charity
> anthology of poetry, called "The Book Of Hopes And Dreams". This
> anthology will raise money for Spirit Aid ( http://
> www.spiritaid.org.uk ), to provide medicines, doctors, nurses and
> mobile clinics for the people of the remote Baglan Province of
> Afghanistan, who have had little or no medical facilities for a
> quarter of a century... as detailed in the documentary, "Children
> Of The Rubble", directed by David Hayman (head of Spirit Aid's
> operations)
>
> This book features many award-winning and internationally respected
> writers, including Simon Armitage, Margaret Atwood, Moniza Alvi,
> Alan Brownjohn, David Constantine, Cyril Dabydeen, Carol Anne
> Duffy, Ian Duhig, Ruth Fainlight, Vicki Feaver, Elaine Feinstein,
> Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Charles Ades Fishman, Magi Gibson, Alasdair
> Gray, Tony Harrison, John Heath-Stubbs, Michael Horovitz, Mimi
> Khalvati, Tom Leonard, Robert Mezey, Edwin Morgan, Lawrence Sail,
> Penelope Shuttle, Jon Stallworthy, Anne Stevenson and many others.
>
> The book will be published this autumn, but a special, limited
> edition of 250 numbered copies will be available on 31st August to
> those who place an advance order. These will undoubtedly become
> collector's items in years to come. You can find out more about
> The Book Of Hopes And Dreams and read the biographies of all the
> contributors on my website at http://www.thunderburst.co.uk
>
> If you would like to order an advance copy, click on this link:

> (NB: you can pay in various currencies and the publisher is willing
> to ship worldwide)
>
> I do hope you will consider buying a copy, maybe even buying
> several copies as they'll make ideal gifts for friends and family.
> It's for a very good cause, and it's also a very good book: both
> positive and uplifting. Scroll down for the full list of
> contributors and further details about the book.

> prestigious literature magazine or newspaper would help generate
> sales and interest. Unfortunately, small, independent publishers
> tend to get ignored by the bigger magazines and newspapers, and
> Bluechrome just can't afford to send out hundreds of review copies
> on spec in the hope that someone might review The Book Of Hopes And
> Dreams. I know this is a lot to ask, but I can't emphasise
> strongly enough how important it is that we raise as much money as
> possible for this project. Afghanistan has fallen off the charity
> map: it is not the most popular of countries because of the Taliban
> and Al Quaida; and as a result, ordinary, innocent Afghani
> civilians are suffering considerable hardship.

> New Title: The Book of Hopes and Dreams ed. Dee Rimbaud
>
>
>
>
> LIMITED FIRST EDITION OF 250 COPIES
> AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER TODAY
>
> The title of this book reflects its contents. 'The Book Of Hopes
> And Dreams' is full of the power of hopes and dreams. The poetry
> within its covers is subversive; reading it may lift your spirits
> and could possibly infect you with optimism. Exposure to optimism
> can be dangerous; it is not just delightful, but highly-addictive.
> In extreme cases addicts will happily run the risk of public
> ridicule by swimming against the prevailing tide of post-modern,
> ironic ennui. Their street-credibility decimated, their cool lost
> forever; you will know these hapless addicts by the upturning of
> their lips and the twinkle in their eyes.
>
>
> Read this book and you too may stop thinking that everything is
> awful and nothing can be done about it. Buy this book and you have
> already begun the process; for you are giving money towards a
> remarkable cause. You are helping to provide doctors, nurses and
> medical supplies for the five hundred thousand people who live in
> isolated villages in the Baglan Province of North East Afghanistan,
> who until 2002 had gone nearly a quarter century without medical
> facilities of any kind, who until then had precious few reasons to
> believe in the power of hopes and dreams.
>
>
> Thanks to the Glasgow-based charity, Spirit Aid (headed by actor
> and director, David Hayman), the people of Baglan Province now have
> at least some limited access to medical facilities. Over the coming
> years, Spirit Aid hopes to raise enough money to considerably
> improve this access, by providing and running six mobile clinics,
> together with a medical team of local doctors, nurses,
> paediatricians, dentists, pharmacists, drivers and interpreters.
> It's an ambitious project, but the people at Spirit Aid are rarely
> defeated by apathy, for they truly believe in the power of hopes
> and dreams.
