About this ebook
My first book of 75-poems My Broken Heart (75 Days In The NHS) was published in 2013. This second volume from 2022 picks up from where that left off and contains 164 new pieces covering SIGNIFICANT OTHERS in my life - rhymes and non-rhymes that incorporate all sorts of outer/inner influences down through my considerable number of Irishman years.
A wide-range of topics includes:
Roe vs. Wade decision overturned, Suffragettes recuperating at Sissinghurst, Eddie Van Halen, Duncan Raban Interviewee Videos on YouTube, Self-Help Methods of Recovery, Inc., the 60ts finale of The Prisoner, post Breast Cancer and Quad Bi-Pass survival, an adult son with Autism and Parents approximating the same, Ireland's answer to Lauren Bacall, Reckless Records in Soho, PRIDE Marches in Margate, Aloysius Nosey Parker in Thunderbirds, Red Squirrels, Virgin VS 181 (Sex Pistols), Door Bolts on Nineteenth Century Homes, Tonka Toys, Vinyl and Musical Heroes, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's old-world black and white photographs and phone slavery to the Infinite Scroll.
Other themes include: Cancel Culture, Barbarella's Chew Toy, Jesus in the Spaghetti, Emily Blunt's Bath Water, Families in Ireland and England, decent neighbors with building skills, Spitfires, Friends and Lovers (past and present), Kids, loss of friends, family and influences, talk of Caractacus Potts, Bob Hope, The Shawshank Redemption, David Cassidy, The Last Bun Special, Re-opening Purgatory, Bicycle Clips, Cloakrooms in the V&A, Emperor Palpatine's Skin Moisturizing Techniques, Dropsy and Ten-Bob Notes, a pyromaniac who curses ants – and so on.
