The original intention was that my images of Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, ee cummings, Rainer Maria Rilke, TS Eliot, Lord Byron, Walt Whitman and George himself would be placed below or alongside the relevant poems. However, when the book's layout was being worked out, the publisher decided instead to fit my images on the back cover, with Walt Whitman on the front cover while George Szirtes and Lord Byron appear on bookmarks.
I would have been happier with the original plan but never mind. May this book have a long, happy and successful life.

Ah, this poet
has yet
to find a sim
card, a yard
or two,the fantasy
to take him to sea
and diminish
the jelly,
on his belly.
Davoh, ha ha, very good. Jelly belly, yes, hard to get rid of!
Wonderful artwork!
Thanks Bruce. It was easy to illustrate, the poems are great.
