by Howard A. Fergus (Author)
From the cold streets of England to warm and breezy nights in Montserrat, Howard Fergus chronicles life as it unfolds with one foot in the past and the other firmly in the present. This new collection of poems sets us in the midst of hurricanes, volcanoes, election campaigns and royal romance, sports legends, cultural celebrations and community heroes. With his wit and words, the stately gentleman reminds us that life is for living, laughing and loving.
