Boston's faxed handwritten response suggests 'Hoping This Might Be So' saying 'It not only brings together the poems he has published since 1974 but also adds three dozen new ones - some moving some hilarious and some polite some rude all expressed with clarity wit feeling and metrical virtuosity. I haven't enjoyed a poetry collection so much since Gavin Ewart left us.' Kit Wright born 1944 is an award-winning author of more that twenty-five books for children and adults. He contributes to 'The Oldie' magazine. Richard Boston 1938Ã2006 was a writer and journalist who delighted in humour. He was editor of 'New Society' and wrote for 'The Guardian' and founded the environmental magazine 'The Vole' and the literary magazine 'Quarto'. However 'his writing had roots in specific beliefs notably in the verities of anarchism. A man of considerable moral courage he had an ingrained distrust of all attempts by one group of people to organise and control the lives of others.' Very good. 1903563011 Very good.
