We're very lucky in Shropshire to have some extremely talented writers local to us, and Paul Binding is one of these! We're delighted to be hosting the launch of his new novel-in-verse, The Cloud Messenger, and hope you'll join us to help celebrate. There'll be a short reading, a book signing, and the all important prosecco to toast the book! The Cloud Messenger brings together, in a continuous narrative poem, the two-day walk from Ludlow to Clun in Shropshire of composer Gustav Holst in April 1928, and the experiences in April 2024 of Pete Kempsey, Shropshire kite-shop owner, who has an evening assignation in Clun’s old pub, The Sun. Its account of Gustav’s walk originates in the letter he wrote Adeline Vaughan Williams, wife of his fellow-composer, Ralph, while Pete and his story form the subject of a previous novel of Paul Binding’s, After Brock. Above the Shropshire countryside both Gustav and Pete are aware of a travelling cumulus cloud like that the composer had honoured in the work he thought on completion his greatest yet, The Cloud Messenger (1910–1912), reflecting his absorption in Sanskrit poetry. The cloud carries rain but surely it also carries love. Paul Binding has made his home for over thirty years in Shropshire. He is the author of novels, a childhood memoir, studies of culture and literature and three solo books of poems, these last all with Shoestring Press. His interests are animals, music, Scandinavia and the life of the Welsh Marches.
