      Friends For Life

      Feb 16, 2022

      I DON’T accept the old adage ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’. I buy books I already own when I see a new edition with a wonderful cover. Then there is the title. Imagine our debt of gratitude to Ezra Pound, who edited a young poet and made him dump
