'You are born in darkness'
Finally I have managed to do something special.
Using the company Lulu I have self-published my long poem 'The First Man In Space' as the first of, hopefully, many books to come under my Handmade Tales logo.
The poem takes the symbol of the astronaut and uses them to explore the nature of progress, loneliness and humanity's determination to explore.
There is a couple of ways you can get this, either through the Lulu store website, which I'll put here for ease: http://www.lulu.com/shop/alistair-david-todd/the-first-man-in-space/paperback/product-23403928.html
You can also get this through the Orchard Treasure shop on Orchard Street in Weston-Super-Mare.
Or if you are lucky enough to get the chance to see me in various open mic poetry sessions around the South-West area then you can buy a copy off me personally.
Either way I will be very happy if you do and I hope that you enjoy what I have produced.
Watch this space as there will be more where that's come from.
