Not that long ago, artists had patrons who kept them and their families in food, housing and artistic materials. This allowed them to share their art with the world. We don't really have this anymore. I am looking to raise £12,000 to get a 2nd edition of Magic Happens and a first edition of All Hail the 21st century printed at the same time. The books will be hard back and beautifully set, with an audio CD inserted at the back... a beautifully made hand stitched collectable.

If many people invest a small but generous sum, this figure can be reached in no time...

I am not asking to borrow money - I am inviting you to be a patron of the arts, and of my work specifically, supporting me to get the message of truth and love out into the world through poetry.

If you are not familiar with my work already, there is a poem just for you waiting in the wings. Click the banner in the top left hand corner of your screen and enjoy your gift.

You can become a patron at various levels:

Patron by gesture £10.00 / £20.00
Bronze dusted patron £150.00
Silver dusted patron £500.00
Gold dusted patron £1000.00
Patron patroni £2500.00
Patron Saint of Simon Welsh Poetry! £6000.00
