'People will treat you the way you let them- learn to stick up for yourself.' That's one of 64 aphorisms and 16 poems from my new book 'You can't change anyone but yourself: Reflections on Life, Love, and Faith'. Available in March from Charlie Byrne's Bookshop, Middle St, Galway, Ireland. Alan Bennett featured my poem 'Getting it off my chest' in his 'Diary' in the 'LRB'; it was subsequently republished in his anthology 'Keeping on Keeping on' ( it's on p 143, should you have a copy to hand).
