Starship Free

Starship Free began as a concept of freedom when Mark D Bishop as a pupil in a private English school in the 1960s was feeling the effects of long-term physical and emotional confinement. It represented an escape that in his imagination created a world of travel writinglove and martial arts. The 50 years of poetry that this Anthology represents chart the course of how he acted out these dreams. While travelling living researching training and working in various lands for 50 years Mark D Bishop felt inspired to write poetry that he felt he would one day publish. This work then recording his life's adventures in poetry is the reality of his childhood daydreams. To the reader the work represents a fascinating and mind-opening experience; be they arm-chair traveller or adventurer themselves 'Starship Free: An Anthology' is a reassuring travel companion and an uplifting friend.
