Sarah Wardle's review
of
Poet Town: The Poetry of Hastings & Thereabouts, Deluxe Photo Edition:
" Poet Town: The Poetry of Hastings & Thereabouts is a moving read, in part because I spent my teens and twenties in Battle, so went down memory lane as the poets catch Hastings and 1066 country so well, but for the most part for the by turns charming"

How nice to meet you here and what a wonderful list of authors. I'm a lover of Portugal and great admirer of Saramago.
I hope you enoy reading and look forward to your feedback.
Dear Orna, My thanks for following on Goodreads. I can't wait to read your books. My favorite authors are Shakespeare, Sophocles,Homer,Joyce,Dante and last but not least Milton. I did enjoy reading Junot Diaz's The Brief and Wonderful Life of Oscar Wao, and Jose Saramago's Blindness. Shelley@whirlz on Twitter.
