    About this ebook

    Scoppetry is a mixed-up book of poems and prose. The pieces take place in many countries, but they are all rooted by the writers observation of his relationships quirks, wherever he may roam. Scop is an old English word for poet, and in Scoppetry, the author attempts to revive that wandering minstrel with modern narratives.
