BIBLIOGRAPHY
Paul Bura is a poet, writer and broadcaster. He produced many of the voices behind Thames Television’s LARRY THE LAMB
series where he got his first break and subsequently embarked on a
career as a Voice-Over artist and radio actor. He went on to co-present
BBC Radio,4’s SOUNDS, WORDS AND MOVEMENT. He then moved to Channel 4’s SAME DIFFERENCE as an on-screen reporter and V.O.
He is the author of eight books of
verse but not only writes poetry but is a regular contributor to
magazines like THE SCIENCE OF THOUGHT REVIEW (now New Vision), THE QUARTERLY, ONE VISION, SC MAGAZINE (now Swirlednews.com), BLACK SHEEP, THE SEEKER, to name but a few. He also wrote with Andy Thomas the book QUEST FOR CONTACT, an extraordinary experiment with crop circles. His memoir: STEPPING TO THE DRUMMER ‘The Extraordinary Tales of a Psychic Man’, with
a foreword by Uri Geller, makes this man highly readable, “At times
you think he’s making it all up. He isn’t. Trust me, I’m a psychic,” so
said the infamous Uri Geller.
He is also a performing poet “with a voice that would make Dylan Thomas growl in his grave with envy,” said the writer and poet Christy Brown author of Down All the Days and My Left Foot, subsequently made into a film starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
He has written many books including THE STRANGER ON THE THRESHOLD,
a collection of stories and essays on the subject of Love and
Compassion, also on the same theme of love and compassion he has
devised an oracle based on the ancient art of dowsing called: AND LOVE SAID: THE ORACLE.
LITTLE RESTAURANT ON THE PROM is
an endearing, funny, and sometimes moving document of the lad that was
Paul Bura, one day running on two legs (until polio caught up with
him) and the next screeching around corners in a wheelchair. This is
current free reading on this website!
His greatest love is performing before a live audience, and all that has to offer, making his poetry really live! His last performance was in Bangor Cathedral reciting “my spiritual stuff” as he calls it!
His latest work is a novel. His first. It’s called PETER CHISHOLM ‘The Lemon Tree’ a love story with a profound difference!
He is currently editing his 9th book of poetry called THE RED KITE to be published in 2008.
