Thanks to Lemn Sissay for sharing this. Foyles has improved a great deal since I worked in their Education Suppliers in 1957.
Wow. Thats good to know
Foyles has always been one of my loves, first went their in the 70’s when there was piles of books stacked on the floors. It was a antiquated and beautiful. Filled me with awe. I bought a book called Bürolandschaft – a movement from the 50’s about office landscaping. As a school student I worked as an office cleaner to earn some money. I was fascinated by the large expanses of open plan offices and large expanses of desks which had a life, community of its own in working hours. And another book about Lord Alfred Robens chair of the coal board during the time my dad worked their when we still lived in Scotland. So much to learn, so much to know.
So much to write…..
Waterfall of words maybe
maybe
It was more a gust of remembrances. Thanks for the poetry and your book. On with the day
