W From Memory: A Compendium Of Poetry

By Niet Van Der Zand

At three minutes past seven on the evening of Wednesday 21 December 1988 a bomb exploded on board Pan Am Flight 103, a Boeing 747 en route from London to New York.

At that time I was in Gatwick airport boarding a flight to Jersey in the Channel Islands. What does that say about these poems?

That they are a collection, yes, yet a collection of poems all first formed from 1988 onwards. They were originally hand written in the Fabriano Quaderno EcoQua A4Turquoise notebook.

I am writing the introduction before the poems have really got going, so I shall pause now, only to return as the poetry is nearing completion.

It is clear to me that much is made of how our early life shapes up how we develop as living and loving human beings. I fall into that tranche of fine folk who are happy to put their shortcomings fairly and squarely at the foot of their parent's traits, as well as their own subsequent upbringing. I do believe these poems declare my equanimity for the equal balance of innate and learned behaviours, which in turn lead to the particular way of reviewing one person's, personal, love infused poetry world.
