This collection of semi-autobiographic themed poems covers Self, Places, Children, Religion and Drinking/Pubs. Issues dealt with include various aspects of his family life, growing up in Liverpool with a predominantly Irish working class background, then returning as an adult with a family of his own. The written style is often mannered and eliptical but contains verbal and rhythmic virtuosity, a force of imagery and brilliant wit. | Cuttings From A Notebook by Michael D Gibson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
