Böcker av Brian McManus

These six brilliantly enthralling stories will have you laughing and crying and desperate to know what happens next. They depict a nineteenth-century Ireland steeped in the supernatural in which both humans and fairies refuse to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.

"McManus has used great skill in building up his collection in Solastalgia.He varies form and point of view, creating poignant poetry, stunning imagery and sound echoes throughout. ''I Cried For You Today'' brought me close to tears. The reader won''t be disappointed."- Patricia M Osborne''A lasting memorial to those not coming back, and the end of the age of certainties.Every disaster needs its commentators to keep our memories of such times alive, and to hold those responsible to account. McManus does that.''- Nigel Kent, poet, author, reviewer. 

"Liar Liar" is a much-needed response to the myriad of dangers we all face in an increasingly challenging Covid world, and examines the disturbing lack of coherent response to that challenge from our constitutional governments and how the people of the UK and USA in particular have suffered, often times paying with their lives. Brian McManus paints compelling lyrical word pictures of the distressing tales of ordinary, everyday people who find their lives torn asunder, and the dearth of both intellect and ability amongst our political leadership for managing and directing a meaningful response to such an all-encompassing pandemic.If you haven''t read a book of poetry for a while you need to pick this one up - today.
