St. Francis in the Slaughter-House brings together thirty poems written over the course of three decades.  Many of these appeared originally in magazines:  my thanks go to the editors who first published them.  The poems are spoken by myself, and were recorded by Kenneth Brake at his studio in London during 2006.

St. Francis in the Slaughter-House may be ordered from this website and is also available from selected bookshops.
