Meanderings: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose

Ian Bradley Marshall

Available: Out now

Description

A conversational 21st Century anthology touching four millennia, the cover catching a glimpse of the wind farm far out on the North West Coast of Great Britain. A meandering of self-discovery, duality, identity, time and space, comedy, spirituality; the sequel to Marshall’s “Idle Thoughts” published in 2009, his very distinctive style and controversial hallmark – to push the boundaries. Painful, haunting and incredibly uplifting with an indominitable message of hope; the determination to not give in, to not bow down, to not capitulate, to be all-embracing. Semi-autobiographical, this reaches out to every generation, deliberate and calculated, challenging every form of prejudice – racism, bullying, sexuality or just downright cruelty and evil. To those who propagate evil, the message is clear. ‘We’re on to you. Give up or suffer the consequences.’ Perhaps the greatest pieces are Helmand, Joyce of Whitchurch, They Came in the Night, The Justin Trilogy and The Four Seasons. Above all, is a wonderful glimpse of the people we simply know as Liverpool.
