All of my poems written between October 1972 and December 1974 were written either during my travels with my two best friends, Clive and Tony, whilst I was sick with Hepatitus or during the journey in 1974 with my girlfriend, now wife, Angie.

With Tony and Clive I travelled overland from Morocco to Egypt, up the White Nile to Juba in South Sudan and on to Nairobi in Kenya where I worked until I got sick. I began writing poetry during that journey and most of those poems I have categorised as naive.

Angie and I flew to Nairobi. We travelled around Kenya and then by boat to Pakistan. We crossed into India from Lahore to Amritsar. From Delhi we travelled by bus to Kathmandu and by plane to Bangkok. We ended up in Singapore where our journey abruptly ended as Australia would not allow us both long term visas.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect only their name (or alias) and, optionally, their email address. If you enter your email address it is safely kept under lock and key on the website's database and only I can see it when I approve the comment. The approval process is only to prevent hate, fake information and bots etc (see terms and conditions here).

. I will never pass your email address on to any other party - not for love nor money.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) is provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using Gravatar. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture, if you have one on Gravatar, is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Visitors may also choose to get notifications when people add more comments to the post that they themselves have commented and/or to any replies to their own comments. In this case you must enter your email address to get those notifications. The privacy and security is, in this case, identical to that explained above for visitors that choose to enter their email address when writing a comment.

In addition, visitors may wish to receive one email each month containing links to new posts that have been added in the previous month. In this case, because we have to follow spamming laws, your email address is stored in the very secure and private database of our email marketing provider, Brevo. Once again I can see those mail addresses as can Brevo Administrators. Brevo is a very reputable mail marketing company that follows all European and American privacy laws.

Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service named Akismet Spam Protection.

How long we retain your data & Unsubscribing

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. However, if you sign up to be notified for other comments and replies to your comments then you can unsubscribe on the comment form. Just put your cursor over each icon on the form and you will see a tip telling you to unsubscribe by clicking that icon.

For users that subscribe to our once a month email (showing posts that were added in the previous month), we store just your name (or nickname/alias) and your email address in our protected mail provider's database (Brevo) - that information remains in the safe and secure custody of Brevo until the user unsubscribes at which point both name and email are deleted. The website owner/administrator (Kevin Mahoney - author of the posts and writings) can also see that information.

if you have subscribed to receive notifications of new posts then each email that you receive from writernotafighter will contain an unsubscribe link.

Cookies

My website & blog does not use cookies.

However, in order to include certain automated functionality, for exsample the additional functionality in comments, the attractive image & text grid of all posts and the notifications of new posts, I must use external, third party software plugins. I only use plugins from world wide, renowned and reputable software providers that serve many thousands of websites. In otherwords secure and stable software. I am an ex.professional software developer, now retired.

To my knowledge, if they use cookies, then it is purely to serve the expected functionality and not to capture information or to bother you with adverts etc.
