This is Bill Homewood's 6th collection of verse. Of Bill's last collection 50 SONNETS (Mimosa Books 2020), poet Benjamin Zephaniah wrote: "This is a beautiful, thoughtful collection. These 50 sonnets read as if they were created by nature as she observed the wonder, and the mess of modern times, not by a bloke called Bill Homewood. But Bill did write them, and I loved them. The future just got better. Long live the sonnet. "For PAINTING WITH WORDS, Bill has collaborated with celebrated Scottish artist Simon Menzies (www.simonmenzies.co.uk), whose paintings hang in many distinguished collections, including those of the late Beatle George Harrison, Lord Archer and Her Majesty the Queen. Bill took 22 of Simon's works and wrote 44 poems around them, using the paintings as inspiration. Presenting a mixture of beautiful paintings and evocative, thought-provoking poetry, PAINTING WITH WORDS is an ideal gift - a perfect bedside book to give both pleasure and reflection.
