Poet's note

Since creating this blog, I have read several more of Daphne du Maurier's books: "The Birds and other stories", "Breaking Point short stories", "The Doll and other stories", "Mary Anne", "The Scapegoat" and "I'll Never Be Young Again".  The related poetry seems to have "dried up" at present, unfortunately - hence the fact that these poems relate only to the novels "Rebecca", "Jamaica Inn", "Frenchman's Creek" and "My Cousin Rachel". 

I hope to read further du Maurier novels/short stories in the future, including "The House on the Strand".  If I do feel inspired to write further poems based upon Daphne's excellent novels, or the short stories, I will include them on this blog.
