A Family of Writers Evening at Brunel

Been a wonderful evening of Family Link Up.. One of my Granddaughters, Olivia went with me to the Hillingdon Literary Festival at Brunel University. She is studying at the moment at Uxbridge College Media Studies and becoming a good reporter and creative writer...  Her plan to study for a BA in Creative Writing... Tonight was very touching for me as I have had worked published in past years of the Hillingdon Literary Festival for Family Link Up  A poem Dante wrote, I translated and adapted to English Umbilical Cord to Motherland and a poem I wrote about Princess Leen  When we arrived at the University it felt like being part of the creative writers family too. Olivia and me had a great time and will be on campus on Sunday too.  


 Olivia and me totally intrigued with Ben Okri was a brilliant time of sharing with laughter and deep thoughts too... His book The Freedom Artist is based on concepts of the prisons within ourself..... I am keen to read this....
