Bill taught at Jack Hunt School and is heavily involved with Nassington Cricket Club. The collection (cover by Peterborough Telegraph cartoonist John Elson) contains sixty poems, including verse written while he was Poet Laureate of Stamford. The work covers the whole spectrum from whimsical to profound. Bill intends to donate any eventual profits from sales (the book costs £7) to the Kidney Research charity.
The evening at Stamford Arts Centre will start at 7:30pm and will include the usual opportunity for other poets to also read their own work.
