60 Odd Poets - The First Half Dozen

1. This volume “The First Half Dozen” features the pioneering poets, who were first inducted into the Order of the Sixty Odd by appearing at sixtyoddpoets.substack.com from the latter weeks of 2023 into the early ones of 2024. They have all inspired, accompanied or helped me on my journey through the world of poetry. Many of them have done all three. There are many delights to be found here. You can go for a walk through Mexborough with John Beal, or explore the course of the River Dearne with Paul Brookes’ collection of sonnets. You can see the moon from the different perspectives offered by Tracy Dawson and John Wolf. You can see Duane Eddy in a Yorkshire pub with Ian Parks and remember Marc Bolan’s untimely end with Frank Colley.
