PARADISE and WILDERNESS – DAVID CRAIG

It is with much sadness that we announce that our good friend Dave Craig departed this life on 2nd November 2021.  He was a wonderful writer, fantastic climber and a great man.  He is much missed by his wife Anne and his family.  This link will take you to an obituary in The Guardian.  Obituary

Nearly 70 years of poetry in one volume!  Throughout his life, David Craig has been consistent in his views on humanity and inhumanity; politics and politicians;  love and growing old.  This collection has it all.

Paradise and Wilderness is now available through Amazon.  Click this LINK to be taken to the Amazon page and click on NEW books to find KAILPOT PRESS.
