'These fragments I have shored against my ruins'
What this blog is and how to use it
This blog contains poems that have caught my attention over the years. Many of the poems I've discussed and explored with 16 -19 year old students in my capacity as lecturer in English.
Browse the list of poems by scrolling down the page or read the titles of poems or names of poets in the sidebar 'Poem Titles and Poets'. Then click on the title or poet.

About Me
- David
- I'm a follower of Jesus. I'm married with two children. I teach English. I've been writing poetry, short stories and marking student essays forever. I enjoy cycling and camping. I'm disabled, I don't have enough time for blogging. I think I'm fifty eight but I keep forgetting.
