Narrow Gate Press

Narrow Gate Press

This is my new venture: the publication of a book of poems - the lifetime best poems of my late friend David Henschel.

To read some of the poems and follow the progress of the book please go to the Narrow Gate Press blog.

From time to time I shall also post there about the ups and downs of becoming a publisher using print-on-demand technology.

A friend of mine, a poet, told me she was sad when someone told her that words are not important. Words belong to this ordinary state of being in the mind. They are mere tokens for reality, codes to which we try to attach meaning, not reality itself.


I said, someone told me that the important part of music is the silence between the notes. In the same way the importance of poetry is the silence created in the listener.
