Local poet Dorothy Mapley is helping raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance by puiblishing a book of poems and associated artwork. The 32 page book named 'Light & Bright' includes artwork from the region and is priced at £4.50.
Dorothy said "No one is going to rush out and buy a book called "Doom and Gloom", there's enough of that around already, so hence the above title. My poems are drawn from light-hearted, pleasant and tongue-in-cheek situations in my life, for example, from the supremely idle cat (page 8) to the quandary (on pages 14 and 15) of separating metal from cardboard for the purposes of recycling!
I already support NWAA, taking over from my mother who died in 2008 and who had supported the organisation since its inception in 1999. I set up an online Reflections Tribute Fund in memory of her via NWAA’s website and the poetry book is simply another avenue of fundraising which I felt able to do”.
The book is available from Dorothy on 01772 252355 and also on sale at Hoghton Tower, Lancashire (telephone 01254 852986 or visit www.hoghtontower.co.uk for details of opening times).
