I’m proud to announce, that the sale of my “Tullawalla Booklets”, have now gone pass $1300.00, … to all the lovely readers, who have donated, to help achieve such a wonderful amount, a big heartfelt thank you, from “us” and the MS Society … …..Amazingly, there is now a total of “779 poems”, in my collection/series of 19 Tullawalla Booklets. This booklet is finally completed, and ready for sale now !! As always, they are available for purchase, either as a hard copy or a PDF format…..

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  2. Wow. That’s amazing Ivor. Good luck with your new book. I have done the same and produced books of poetry for the Lymphoma Association here. Finding outets though, is hard, especially now. I really hope your book goes well Ivor xx

      2. They are only folder type booklets, 40-43 poems in each, and I sell them via the MS shop, and through local Cafes, and my on-line sales… I sell a lot when I was working as a Plumber….but I’m retired now..

      3. Oh right. I used to go to Craft Fairs, put them at the back of churches, and in some shops who agreed to sell them for me

      1. Thank you! I’ve taken a screenshot of this for now. If you haven’t heard from me in 6 months send out a search party!!!!😅🙃❤

        My MS shop has just reopened thankfully🥰 and I had in mind to make little booklets of a few of mine for them to sell for them to raise funds. It seemed a useful thing to do. Time and energy and millions(!!!😉) of commitments mean it’s difficult to organise but I shall do it in a small way . ❤❤❤
