Title: Blaydonburn
First published: 1980
Description: yes, it is a long poem... a pastoral adventure, set in the North-East of England, in modern times!! Some of the passages are good, but many are weak and vapid, oh dear!! But, altogether, a good attempt at rhyme/meter with traditional subject! This poem was complete by 1977 -- but in 2009, a new volume of poems ('Londinium Poeta', emp3books) by the same author, really scored high!! Please check this new volume... 'BlaydonBurn' was part of the learning process!    -- S.A.Newton.
