Katie Evans Comments

The poem God's Garden is also attributed on other sites (eg Scrapbook.com) to a D W McConway... it can be difficult to find the original author of poetry which is shared so widely, especially by those taking funerals. I look for poetry as a celebrant and always seek permission or at least cite authors if I recite the poems, but it is clearly difficult to find original attribution and ownership, even when looking for it! Thank you, David Boyce, for a beautiful and much loved poem.

Can you please confirm that the poems which are attributed to you here are actually written by you. Many thanks

Anyone can hand write it out on a piece of paper, even now and say they wrote the original, do you have a link to a dated post on myspace? , if not, i'd say David would legally have the copyright.

Actually David Boyce, I wrote this original poem in 2005. I published it on Myspace. I actually have the original handwritten paper.

Katie Evans, evidently as noted below by David Boyce, steals works by other people. She ads a line or two and thinks it is her's...it is not. Stop stealing other peoples' work, Katie. We're all on to you now.

I recently lost a dear friend and was wondering whether or not we would be able to use God's Garden in her memory. Is it copyrighted? If so, by David Boyce or Katie Evans? Please let me know as soon as possible. With sincere thanks. Peggy Foley [email protected]

TRUE WELSH. Can you tell me where you got permission for this poem to be published here on PoemHunter.com? As I am the Author of the poem and it is already under Copyright (as 2008 David Boyce) you should not be publishing it on any site under your own name. I have allowed a pupil to use it for her work in a school for her GCSEs in 2014, is this you? If so can you please show me as the official author. Regards, David Boyce, South Wales
