The Self-Publishing Partnership Ltd More Poetry As It Was Once
The author brings his love of the English language, nurtured by his life in Palestine, Guyana, Barbados, England and Argentina to a mixture of hope, sadness, love, disillusion and all the other experiences to which human beings are subjected. He has contended with rejection, exclusion, terrorism, injustice, hope and love. He now in old age finds contentment and amusement in the ways of the world, free of illusions, and delusions, while he contemplates the beautiful cattle and crops on his extensive farm, and tries to persuade a golf ball to go straight. May his epitaph be: He tried his best.

Brown Dog Books Poetry As It Was Once
Here is a book which sets the record straight on what poetry is. Descriptive, of course, but also with the discipline of rhythm and rhyme, which demands the elimination of the superfluous and the repetitive. This is not to disparage prose. On the contrary, prose can indeed be beautiful: but it is not poetry. There are poets whose works are of course brilliant but lacking in humour. But life would not be life without fun, so they describe a somewhat one-sided view of the human condition. Indeed, we all suffer from time to time, but we also experience joy and laughter. I at least hope that I may expire with a smile!
