John Sutton - To The Wife in my Life

Scribbling poems on every available piece of paper or cardboard was a way of life for John Sutton for over 20 years.

Though it was only upon retiring to Portugal did John, with his wife Delia, finally find the time to collate his mammoth collection into a compendium for publication.

Situated in central Portugal, John not only collated his collection of poetry but also found new inspiration scribbling enough sonnets for another three or four books.

John's first compendium of poetry, To the Wife in My Life To Put Life in My Wife, was published in 2008.

Although Portugal provided the solitude John needed to finish his compendium, he and Delia moved back to the United Kingdom in 2009 to market the book.
