Sadly, my dear wife, Glenda, passed away on 6th February, 2014. I
have lovingly collected all her peotry together, including some
poems not previously published or in draft form. It is therefore a
complete collection of her poetic work and I hope it will stand as
a tribute to her. Glenda had a very creative and analytical mind,
together with a wry sense of humour, much appreciated by those who
knew her and enjoyed her lively company. In her poems, she often
strays from the expected line to challenge the reader to reflect on
unusual and striking visual images. In several of her poems she
explores the slow deterioration that she was experiencing in her
daily battle with Parkinson's Disease, at times in a humorous way,
but never shying away from the cruelty of this life-changing
condition. Shortly after her retirement, she was diagnosed with
Parkinson's Disease, which gave her the impetus to publish her
work, initiallty to raise money for Parkenson's UK and the Motor
Neurone Disease Association. 'Oops' was published in 2008 and was
followed by 'Funny Peculiar Funny Ha-Ha' (2011) and 'Bits and
Pieces' (published posthumously in 2016).
