'a feather floating free'
About John Christmas
All of you who knew John, know that he was a prolific writer of poetry. He wrote about the world around him with irony and pain, as well as celebration and humour.
Since his untimely departure, the idea of bringing a selection of his poems into a book was on everyone’s mind. His sister, Anne Sanders, embraced this challenge and the result is about to be printed.
Anne’s research found hundreds of poems. A selection of 96 poems, 4 songs and one short piece of prose, made their their way to this book. This selection tries to reflect John’s eclectic outlook.
in order to raise the money needed to print about 50 copies, Anne is running this crowdfunding campaign on viva-vox.org . This is a unique chance to contribute to this project and as a reward, you will receive a copy.
Hope you will endorse. Please share this page with others who may be interested – the fundraising success partly depends on that too.
Thank you in advance.
Over 90 poems in this very special edition
Crowdfunding for this book will cover the printing costs and will give us a pretty good idea of interest.
If there is high demand, the goal may increase by adding an extra number of copies.
Please note that this is not for profit and any surplus moneys will go to the British Lung Foundation.
- This fundraising campaign aims to reach £500
- The campaign aims to print 50 copies
- Reward 1 will deliver one copy
- Reward 2 will deliver 2 copies to the same address

EPITAPH
 If when I’m gone
You think of me and laugh
Then let that be
My only epitaph.
So is it finished, is it over?
Is it been and gone and done?
Is it closing time already,
When the party’s just begun?
Â
Test 2
great! Looking forward to it!
