Louder Prayers

Seventy-one Poems

128 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

To some extent Louder Prayers resembles an earlier anthology of my work entitled 'Gain of Function', with its reliance on new poetry, some of it first published on the internet. Yet it also has a strong relationship to my previous volume called 'Summer With The Gods' - where this new book asks for 'Louder Prayers' combined with a further search around the edges - those still unexplored areas not quite touched on before. It is certainly a further development of my writing style, and although its physical presentation is designed to give the feel of a prayer book, it is an honest proposition and not in any way disrespectful, sarcastic or facetious. Another strength of these poems is a legitimate need to touch on a number of social issues - coming at them in abstract ways. Since I do not favour any political or social leaning, there is no attempt to sway the reader. Yet I feel my observations, political or religious, need at least to be aired - or what's the point? In no way is my work an exercise in demonstrating pc notions or pseudo-religious guidance, but words must be allowed to identify potential problems and quasi current situations in a critical or merely heuristic sense.
