lovely ode to books. sad to say that with libraries closing or being run more often by volunteers (wonderful people but not librarians) i fear for books. however, independent bookshops are thriving so thats one good thing. particularly like the final part about pokemon go, which is a sad fad but nicely highlights the affect technology has on us. anyone who says that AI doesnt already rule the world is wrong i think.

And so, I was reading this and the voice of Dylan Thomas intruded..I tell you Ian, I don't know much about poetry, but it truly did.

Always love the hardcopy,

Brilliant poem Ian, happy to say I refuse to waste my energy on Pokemon Go (nothing against anyone that does though)
