Fishing for Birds

By Christine Burns

An anthology of 39 poems written over the course of 40 years by British equalities specialist and award winning campaigner Christine Burns MBE. A mixture of humorous and thoughtful poems on themes related to living, loving and leaving. What do you do when cats won't stay buried? Is there a use for bastards? And is a teddy bear really a girl's best friend? In more thoughtful vein, the collection deals with identity, lesbian love, disability, and the reality of life on the internet's highway. There is something for everyone. This anthology will make you smile and think and smile again.

Christine Burns

CHRISTINE BURNS LIVES in Manchester, England. For many years she was a professional IT and business consultant, working for a range of companies from global corporations to her own one-woman business. Her clients ranged from blue chip household name corporations to small businesses. She then consciously switched careers and built a second reputation as an equalities expert, in the course of which she was awarded an MBE by the Queen. Her interests range widely. Apart from being a published writer and poet, she has been a prolific blogger and podcast maker, a keen photographer and also likes to cycle for pleasure. Her publications have included the deeply technical and the mischievously trivial.
