This second collection of poems, which actually encompasses the last third of the total body of his work, follows the previously published "Cuttings From A Notebook," This collection contains much of Michael's later works from 1980 onwards. As before these poems have been extracted and deciphered from the many small pocket diaries and notebooks he would always carry with him.

This is the third collection of poems from a vast body of work. This latest collection is from the early years of Michael's work and dates from his years at Balliol and not only takes influences from here but also from his Liverpool upbringing and his boyhood friends. This collection follows 'Cuttings From A Notebook' and 'Had I Created Me...' and these poems (plus a couple of prose articles) have recently been made available for publication following their submission from one such friend.
