Website

 

I built the website in WordPress, using the Astra theme, with the Elementor editor. I used the Love Nature template. Many thanks to the contributors who freely provide these tools.

YouTube videos

 

The YouTube videos were mainly constructed using the VSDC Free Video Editor. I later used the paid version. A few of the first videos I did were edited using OpenShot.

The videos were constructed using freely available video clips from the Pexels website (www.pexels.com). Occasionally, sound clips were used from the Pixabay website (https://pixabay.com). Many thanks to both these websites and their contributors. The voice-over soundtrack (reading of the poem) is always my own.

Images

 

The book covers for Combustion, Long Poems and Series, and The London Plane, are based on personal photographs. Additional photographs for the book covers were obtained from Pexels. Photographs used on the covers of the remaining five books were taken by:

• The Chemical Marriage – front and back cover by Kenneth Surillo;
• Finchley Boy – front cover by Alexey Demidov, back cover by Karolina Grabowska;
• Becoming Mortal – front and back cover by Lucas Pezeta;
• The Likeness is Applied to the Canvas – front and back cover by Elina Araja;
• A Comedy of Misdirection – front cover by Daria Nekipelova, back cover by Kafeel Ahmed.

All of these photographs can be found in their original form on the Pexels website. Many thanks to these photographers for making their work freely available. Some additional images used on the website pages were obtained from the WordPress media library.

Printing

 

The eight books were printed in hard copy by BookPrintingUK (www.bookprintinguk.com) who couldn’t have been more helpful or efficient. Many thanks to Natalie who was my account manager.
