I’m extremely honoured to announce that my poem, Hyde, is going to be read at the Remembrance Service at the Hyde War Memorial, in Werneth Low Country Park, by the representatives of the Hyde War Memorial Trust.
My poem, Hyde, recounts the memory of those who did not return from the war to the small village, just outside Manchester.
My thanks, especially, to Jane Durkin, Chair of the trust. Video to follow.
Hyde is one of twelve poems featured in my new publication, Windows of Time.
