Poets and Penguin
1979. After 16 years of absence Penguin has relaunched its famous Modern Poets series last month. Five volumes appeared at the bookshops in connection with the relaunching. The poets included in the tittles are 1. James Fenton. Blake Morrison. Kit Wright 2. Carol Ann Duffy. Vicki reaver. Eavan Baland 3. Glyan Maxuwell. Mick Imlah. Peter Reading. 4. Liz Lochhead. Roger McGough. Sharan Old and 5. Simon Armitage. Sean O' Brien. Tqpiy Harrisan.
In retrospect, one can see the influence and authority the Penguin collections had right from the introduction to a wide readership of American Beats as well as William Carlos Williams, the first sampling for most people of Geoffrey Hill. the whizzing to stardom of the young Liverpool poets Henri, McGough, Patten and so on.
For Fathers Only
Whatever one believes, or does not believe, there are is-.siies that can touch every-'body's lives. This time the issue is on father and about giving more time to their families. Many fathers claim that they would spend more time at home if their jobs were not so demanding. Others assert
that they are conscientious in .creating quality time' for their loved ones. It is these
parents whom Rob Parsons I addresses in his book The Sixty Minute Father which hit the book stores this month.
It is easy for fathers to justify their absences, Parsons / maintains. You say, We've got a nice house, a nice cat, a nice goldfish. And you say, 1 "I'm doing it for my family.
'The Sixty ..." oners advice to fathers who want to break the patterns of their lives It 5resents illustrative anec-otes, “action pages" and
"Sixty second pages". As befits a title aimed at busy people, it can be read quickly, perhaps on a journey into work. Parsons explains how he changed his way of live. "Two things happened. I began to realise that my long hours had more to do with me than they did with the job , in hand. I could be Just as effective if I used my time wisely during the day. And I also realised that, because of my basic insecurity and my : need to prove myself, I was saying yes to everybody — I except to .those who were closest to me, to whom I was either saying 'No' or "Latter."
Rob Parsons is best-known for his Loving Against the Odds
