The Sons of Camus Writers International Journal, Issue 13
On Wednesday this week – St. Valentine’s Day, as it happened – Maureen and I received our contributor copies of The Sons of Camus Writers International Journal. And what an exciting moment it was, that thump on the doormat, Issue 13 here at last! Maureen is in it with two poems, ‘Evening at Parkgate’ and ‘Late November – Afternoon’, myself with a poem, ‘Countdown’, and a prose poem, ‘Stalemate’.
Edited by Ann J. Davidson, The Sons of Camus is a wonderful journal with a great ethos, a meld of poetry, prose and artwork from “Friends over 55”.
With Issue 13, I’ve only had time for a spot of random sampling so far, much enjoying several poems from Welsh poet Rowland Hughes’ set of 25, ‘Rain from a Bright Sky’ (Special Feature Writing Award), Morelle Smith’s book review of Herbert Kuhner’s Jazz Poems, Gerald England’s atmospheric black-and-white photographs, with descriptions, ‘Images from The Great Promenade Show, Blackpool’, and Patricia Prime’s ‘Short Poems’ (with other works from her Feature Writer Award). But I’m sure already that this is going to be just as brilliant and inspiring an issue as ever. One to treasure.
Thank you, Ann J. Davidson, for your tireless efforts as editor. And thank you, Morelle Smith, for doing such a grand job as Printing Manager.
It was a very happy St. Valentine’s Day for Maureen and I. Stopping for an apple pie lunch at a favourite pub, we drove up the coast to Prestatyn, where we had a wonderful view of the tossing waves with gulls wheeling above.

Dear Morelle, Issue 13 is proving well worth the wait! Most enjoyable and inspiring. And thumping down on our doormat after I’d just given Maureen a dozen red roses, and we’d opened our Valentine’s Day presents to each other, was amazing!
Thanks again to you and Ann for a splendid issue.
We look forward to seeing you in May.
Take care,
Paul

Thank you, my darling Maureen. What a wonderful Valentine’s Day we had. The Bells. Prestatyn beach. Our chippy-tea at Flint Castle as darkness fell over the estuary… And threading through it all, our happy chatter about ‘The Sons of Camus’!
Aye, it was truly a Valentine’s Day to remember.
