Food for Thought: Savouring the Delights of Poetry and Prose Beth Richards

FOOD FOR THOUGHT is a well known phrase, often used - and this time Beth Richards hopes her latest title will give some readers just that - Food for Thought! In our present generation of the 21st Century folk are living their lives as though on a treadmill. They may be going faster and faster - but, like a treadmill, they are going nowhere fast. Time and money seem to be of the essence in everything. Primary Care Trusts are only interested in their target figures! Beth Richards has written many of the poems in Food for Thought relating to everyday life - life in this hectic 21st Century. She hopes that in this book many readers may be helped to live life to the full - to live in the present and not wish the precious gift of life away. The last poem 'Final Curtain Call' comes to us all one day. We should make sure it's later rather than sooner! The short stories also included in this volume will delight and entertain the reader, as they touch on human nature and, again, some of the dilemmas of modern life, with insight and humour.
