U3AC member Nigel Pearce has self-published a book of poems entitled “Spirits of the Place and A Commuter’s Calendar”. It records in poems a growing acquaintance over eight-and-a-half years with an area of local countryside in West Oxfordshire after decades of living, working and commuting in London. Published by Bookvault, £7.99, 100 pages.

The journey of discovery was rudely interrupted by the imposition of two huge planning proposals – Salt Cross Garden Village and Botley West Solar Farm (the largest in Europe). The subsequent encounter with the planning system prompted a series of poems that are interspersed with the “countryside” ones.
