This anthology was edited by Bills as a snapshot of English Language verse from 2004, and it contains fresh verse from Andrew Motion , Brian Patten , Harry Guest , Al Alvarez , Penelope Shuttle and many other high profile names from the contemporary poetry world. It was marketed specifically to raise funds for the Stroke Association . Bills's own poetry tends to be both experimental and formal, with a strong emphasis on Imagery and Lyricism . A Religious or Spiritual tendency is perhaps more evident in his first collection, and his later work is more personal, with a number of poems concerned with Family Life and Fatherhood . His work has been favourably reviewed in many high-profile literary journals in the UK, including Envoi , Orbis , The Black Mountain Review and South . His poetry has also been published in the national UK newspaper, " The Guardian ". Bills has given readings at " The Ledbury Poetry Festival " and also at the "Poetry on the Lake" event at Lake Orta in Italy .
