For sometime now I have received requests for my “Poems of Love” to be made into Audio Tapes. Recently a dear friend from Sweden asked me to please considered this again, so he may upload them to his phone to carry with him. He had enjoyed listening to my poem ” I Write For You”, read during the BBC interview, and he would like to hear more. This dear man also suffers with Multiple Myeloma and so of course I wish to support MMÂ as much as I can.
It has now been deemed viable for me to record a selection of my readers favourite poems from over the past years. Already I have had requests for ones that are personally liked from my book “The Power Within” and also ones that were not included in the book but are still on www.susiehemingway.blogspot.com and here too from more recent poems.
So I will be going into the recording studio at the beginning of May to record a selection of my love poems.
Dear readers, should you have a poem of mine that you would like to hear me read, please leave the title in the comment section below or email me and I will endeavour to include your favourite in the first recordings.
This is such exciting news; I am really looking forward to being able to listen to you reading your wonderful poems 🙂
Thank you Elizabeth @ The Garden Window. I do feel this would be something really worthwhile to achieve, especially for those partially sighted or for those who are perhaps too tired or not well enough to read any longer.
Poems requested so far:
“You Are”
“The Man With The White Knitted Hat”
“I Carry Thee”
“I Missed You”
“The Fight Without Choice”
“Life Is Fragile Love Is Not”
” How Still – Remission”
Keep them coming!
It might not be appropriate for a MM collection but one that always makes me smile is Pies, Poetry And A Pint Of Gin… 🙂 it could be read with such vigour and would make an amusing interlude. x
Yes I think it would Ellie – we should include some lighter poems also – to make folk smile too. x
I can not wait to be able to get a copy Susie. It will be wonderful to hear your lovely voice again. If I may request “as time goes on”,please.
Let me know when it will be available.
Well done you,
Lots of love,Karen xxxx
Thanks Karen – I have made a note of your request and I will email you when all are complete. Love to you xx
Hi, Susie. I came across your Web site tonight while drafting an epitaph for my lovely husband who died of myeloma in March.
Thank you so much for giving a voice to those fighting this relentless disease, as well as to their loved ones.

Hi Jackie I am so very sorry to read that you too have lost your husband to MM. I am saddened, but thank you for your comment here. You may find something useful amongst the other poems on the dedicated site for my husband which is on http://www.susiehemingway.blogspot.com which is of course in reverse order but contains many more poems if you scroll down. Stay strong during the coming months in the knowledge that there is no more pain for your loved one and let your good memories sustain you.
Susie.
I love the way the website is laid out and I especially loved reading your poems – thank you so much
Thank you Leslie for your kind comment – I send my very best wishes to you and thank you for reading my humble poems x
