This collection, first heard at the marvellous Storm Restaurant in Poole (see back pages for more on Storm - a must for gourmets everywhere!) - is the result of a collaboration between two friends, James Sale and David Orme. Their friendship is exactly 30 years old, and despite having written over a dozen books together on poetry teaching, Shakespeare and the like, this is undoubtedly their best book and legacy. That it was first performed at Storm is highly appropriate: what better place to perform poems and stories that move the soul than a place where food and wine captivate the palate? Alongside the poems of James and David, we have included two favourite classics of rhythm and rhyme which we performed on the night: Kubla Khan and an extract from Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman. Poems and stories speak to the hearts of us because narrative is a primary act of mind. Contact us if you'd like to know more.
