A Collection of contemporary Modernist Beat Poetry using Soul Music and themes of escapism from the humdrum of every day life. It confronts what is happening in today''s society and serves as a social commentary on the 21st century while adopting writing styles of the 20th century poets.

The Lost Notes by Diz is a modern odyssey of an artist who is in search of much more than just a meaning to his life. It''s about the past, present and the future. It''s about experience, it''s about fate, and the lives that guide him to new places, both real and imaginary. With a mixture of different mediums a tale is woven from extracts and vignettes of a life recorded on paper. Notes that were thought missing, reveal a journey of companionship, love and loss with a touch of music here and there. Diz and his trumpet go with the flow, never knowing what will happen when Jazz and the request of a dead rock star combine.“If Jack Kerouac and Carlos Castaneda went on a road trip together, you would probably wind up with something not dissimilar to The Lost Notes. A beguiling transatlantic tale of jazz, spiritualism and Jim Morrison ” Claire Mahoney, Detail magazine

A simple miscellany of verse dedicated to those who are creative. The bohemians, the artists, the mavericks. The go getters and the dreamers. The stylish and the cool. The doers, the give it a goers, and the likeminded souls, who believe in living for today.

Its 1966 and Jake Brody finds himself once again drawn into situations that fate has determined for him. The private eye, based in Manchester, sees his life turned upside down when he is invited to London, for what he thinks is a formal appreciation for his help the previous year, to foil a scandalous plot (Seven Day Fool) . He is offered a job to help British Intelligence, and face an old adversary. The theft of the Jules Rimet trophy is possibly linked, and a cat and mouse mission embroils Jake into a truly international tale with Gangsters, Thieves, Spies and a beautiful woman. The job required is fraught with danger. He is initially given a choice to "Take It Or Leave It." But, in truth there isn''t a choice. He has to do what is expected of him. The consequences are both personal and a matter for national security, at a time when The Cold War has a chilling hold on the nation, and criminal activities serve to facilitate even greater scandals than the Profumo Affair.Also, there is something else at play, that could destabilise the United Kingdom for many years to come...
