Painless Poetry - Paperback

by Francis McPake (Author)

An acute eye for detail, in both nature and humankind, gives these eighty plus works a richness and psychological depth that constantly reward the reader. This collection contains a variety of forms; free and blank verse, sonnets, quatrains, rhyming couplets and narrative, each chosen for being best suited to the subject. Drifters, gypsies, outsiders and the accidental visitors of the air lend an 'other-worldly' feeling to Francis McPake's collection which, while vivid and humorous, forms a sonorous anthem to the passing years of the twentieth century. A Selection of Poems by Francis McPake was published by Athena Press in 2003.
