The poems seem a vivid refusal of desolation, though there is no reluctance in them, to confront the usual varieties of estrangement and suffering..This is a poet who gives to directness, honesty of emotion and fundamental sanity the good name they deserve.

Works

Jane was a lovely child who grew into a beautiful woman.

Jane Shore sent to the Tower accused of Sorcery and Witchcraft
Following the death of King Edward she briefly became the mistress of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset ( who was the son of Elizabeth Woodville by a previous marriage). The wife of King Edward, Elizabeth Woodville, accepted Jane Shore as her husband's mistress. And Sir Thomas More, who knew Jane Shore at the end of her long life, described her as ‘a soft, tender heart’.

Her great beauty attracted the king's solicitor, Thomas Lynom. King Richard III pardoned Jane Shore, apparently at the request of William Lynom. Richard accused the Queen and Jane Shore of Sorcery and Witchcraft. His hope is that this work will not only advance our understanding of particular historical periods but will also provide some guidance to contemporary decision makers.
