This is amazing. Take a look at David M James's blog, which is "... a book of pictures, the subject being readings of poetry in the North-East of England from 1969 to 1987".
Wow - what a treasure trove indeed. I was at several of those readings and remember David James very well - in fact the last time I read in public was at the Colpitts and he was certainly there with his camera. I don't see myself in any of those pics, but there are a lot of faces I know among both the poets and the audiences, including my best mate, Ged Lawson. Ric Caddel was also a very dear friend - I miss him.
I founded Leafe Press in 2000 and am now co-editor. I've edited Litter magazine since 2005. I was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and I live in Nottingham.
My most recent book is "Variations on Painting a Room: Poems 2000-2010" from Skysill Press. I've also published this translation: Yves Bonnefoy, "Début et Fin de la Neige/The Beginning and End of the Snow" (Leafe/Bamboo Books).

What an absolute treasure! Dare I ask: something for Leafe to consider ...???
