Long way from RAPS & SADS. The New Forest is beautiful to live in but some sunshine would be welcome. Love your poetry, longing to read your book as you were always immersive in your creativity - ofsted - expressive and so destructive of the human spirit that wants to fly free and soar to greatness. Congrats at having achieved yourself.

I think probably there is something inherently paradoxical about grace.
‘Relentless sordidness’ sounds huge.
