    About this ebook

    These poems are again dug out of old books, scraps and corners of newspaper pages. Most I didn't even recognise and they are tweaked from the original words.

    Author

    Andrew Minhinnick

    After years and years of doodles, poems and never finished stories I am trying to concentrate and complete some of them and produce in printed form, more for my own ambition than anything else. The Building is my first complete short story from a recent piece of work, I have already published those poems that I think are nearly there. I have been helped by Sarah Milan in editing The Building and Alejandra Bize for her cover illustration.
