The Croydon Poet: Volume One

Nostalgic, poignant, funny, and historical. This encapsulates the musings of this working class poet, affectionately dubbed "The Croydon Poet," by his many supporters over the years. Poems like "Mother Nature," and "The Seagull Hunter," will have you laughing out loud. While poems like "Remembering 9/11," and "Sounds of Hell," pay sad tribute to historic tragedies, and conflicts throughout the world. The author, Paul Finch, delivers an immersive account in his writings, and his nostalgic poetry ("Kids of Today," "Bygone Christmas,") will transport you back to the 50's and 60's with a warm smile - whether you personally experienced them, or not. The author also pays tribute to the late, great, Captain Sir Thomas Moore, whose legacy should always be remembered fondly and proudly. "A delightful collection of humorous, romantic, nostalgic, and, often, thought provoking poems." Gary Shevel. "Sometimes so touching, it feels as if it's been written especially for the person reading it! Although, sometimes, humour sneaks in when least expected." Maureen Pickersgill "This easy-to-read book contains poems for everyone; covering war, peace, everyday life, and special occasions, in humorous, nostalgic, and serious styles." Lynn Howard
