On a Wolverhampton Journey Robbie Kennedy Bennett

Memories in description, picture and ode of growing up and living in Wolverhampton. Many of the roads I have run in my days of training for the marathon and travelled on to my places of employment. My growing up and then youthful courting years to marriage, parenthood and home loving. An active sporting man who turned out to be a very thoughtful person by writing many story poems which the Black Country Bugle were first to print. On a Wolverhampton Journey is a local poetic insight into my travel through the stages of my life to the present day. The decision to go ahead with this book was because of Awa' th' Rough Hills an' Away. This being my first book appears to be of local interest. From there my 'Wulfrunian Footprints in Fife' was featured in a Scottish newspaper. 'Ode' Gold Wolves', our local football club where former times and players are remembered. 'Kicking around Codsall' was my contribution to the village where I now live. I have often said that I was not a great scholar in the classroom, therefore to get close to having work published in my name was a fantastic feeling. I have always had an imaginative mind and can easily drift away into thought. People, places and memories inspired this wanderer to write more work to publish this book of Wolverhampton, my hometown.
