| Moses Bowness | |
| We've been lucky enough to receive a copy of a book produced By Susan Premru on the life and works of Moses Bowness. | |
|
Moses was a renowned Photographer, Poet, Farmer and
Entrepreneur in the Lake District during the 19th
Century. He knew
John "Poet" Close
well, and photographed him many times during their
association. As a result John published advertisements
for "Bowness's Photographic Rooms" in his many books. In
return Moses bought and sold John's books.
As they were both poets in the same area, you have to wonder whether there was a reciprocal inspiration! |
|
| Sue has produced a marvellous little book based on the life of Moses, including examples of his poetry. There are many references to John Close in the appendices, together with excerpts from his books, and a multitude of pictures and images from the era. | |
| The book is for sale at various locations in Westmorland and Cumberland, but we have agreed to also sell it on our site. We're not going to make any money on this, it's purely to help Sue. Any orders received will be passed straight to her, along with the money, for her to send direct. | |
| So, we're asking you to give her a hand, and at the same time get another unique insight into the workings of John "Poet" Close and his peers. | |
