A bundle of Gollancz ...

You've taken a photograph of my father's books - those were his books - 

I turned to see a tall woman, smiling, straight backed, wearing beautifully distressed clothes - 

She stood by the quirky memorabilia which had caught my eye - 

He was a conscientious objector she said  - he knew Kingsley Martin - 

When I was at school, the Headmaster asked me to remove my CND badge - 

I said no - and that if he made me, there'd be an article about it in next week's New Statesman - 

I was one of the Woodcraft Folk - 

I spent a lot of my childhood naked - 

On the hill behind my father's farm there was a CND sign carved into the field - 

The Ordnance Survey never showed it on their maps -
