    About this ebook

    Marc Perry's "The Noisy Tree and Other Poems" is a delightful collection of poems from the heart. Without pretension, without the self-important vocabulary gymnastics one sometimes encounters in poetry that is trying much too hard, Perry crafts works that bring to life snippets of life in ways that really speak to the reader.

    From familiar moments in the life of a lonely man, to glimpses at nature, music and society, and even honest and touching peeks at new found love, these poems are accessible, beautifully written and genuine.
