The selected passages, reproduced below in italics, describe the sensual aspects of the workers at their craft, their aesthetic considerations of what they made, and their physical abilities in their daily routines among the stacks of paper. The author of this book has astutely, and at times poetically, contributed to the lore of hand papermaking by documenting what may have been firsthand observations of the inner workings of the paper mill. There are many thematic elements twined with the personal lives of the workers, their skills making paper, their attitudes about their jobs, social activism, and their place in society. The author Eden Phillpotts modeled the fictitious Dene Mill after the well-known Tuckenhay Mill located on Bow Creek in South Devon. It is a romance novel set in England during the early twentieth century, the plot centering around three workers of the Dene Paper Mill. Storm in a Teacup has been in my library since the early 1980s when I started collecting books on hand papermaking during my time at Twinrocker. He now directs the studio facility in the English, Creative Writing, and Book Arts program at the University of Maine–Machias where he teaches papermaking, letterpress printing, and electronic publishing.

I want to try to bring a new focus on poetry and try to make it appealing to a new generation of young people and those who thought they never liked or understood it before.Īfter a lot of procrastinating I have finally self-published my first eBook of poetry "I Laughed a Smile" at. It saddens me that I wasted so many years not devoting to that, but thinking positively, the experiences gained over those years are now wonderful material for my stories and poems. It has taken me many years of searching and restlessness to realise that my life's passion is to write. I am also finding my services increasingly in demand as a freelance writer and I have ghost-written the text for a number of children's books and educational tutorials. The first "On the Road to Kingdom Come" by Al Wordlaw, and the second, "If I Could Write a Love Poem" by award-winning Israeli/British singer Tally Koren.
I have also been fortunate to have two poems chosen to be made into songs and recorded. There is always a message or lesson I want to promote through my writing, for that reason, my poetry generally shies away from the abstract and obscure.Īfter a lot of procrastinating I have finally self-published my first eBook of poetry "I Laughed a Smile" at I find myself branching out and experimenting with short fiction. I enjoy rhyme but like to experiment and dabble in many different forms and maybe even make up some of my own. Longtime poet but not in the traditional technical sense.
