Synopsis "My Alluring Mind: Reason & Rhyme (in English)"
My Alluring Mind is an anthology of reason and rhyme with poetry, portraiture and short stories that captivate the senses from the lyrics of life. Poems of respect and in awe of great musicians like Lennon, Dylan and Weller also Trio Valore and great new talents such as Sam Gray and Kristyna Myles. The words will take you to Auschwitz, Scotland, Windermere and Country Lanes, tasting the ambience as if you were there. Mix in a few characters from our world in Mr Has-Been, The Fraudulent One and Mr High Street Man, all which sit seamlessly within the fifty titles. Also a mix of love, passion and real life trials and tribulations from the world around us makes this a truly infectious and intriguing read. The book has several great paintings from John Wale, including the cover, a very intense and thoughtful picture of the author, which add to the flow of this very well presented anthology by a very talented British writer. Reviews: "When I read 'Country Lanes' I could almost smell the farm, David truly captivates the senses with his writing" Kim Corsaro, Teacher, California. "Fletch paints a picture of Scotland in such an intelligent descriptive and succinct manner. He truly has a gift with words" Kristyna Myles, Singer / Songwriter UK "My Alluring Mind is a book of amazing writing, great poetry and portraiture. I'm truly proud and honoured to get a mention in there" Sam Gray, Singer / Songwriter UK Foreword: I have had the privilege to watch Fletch develop into a brilliant poet. His poems conjure feelings of laughter or crying, leaving an emotion creating a personal connection to his writing. His first book "Gutter Rhymes" felt more like reading someone's journal rather than a book. This resonates even more so with "My Alluring Mind." "My Alluring Mind" is a deeper look into his personal life. Struggles along with victories, but not without his sarcastic humour, guide you along this journey of his life. These poems will take you back to moments in time you remember as if they were yesterday. Others expose you to new and exciting experiences as you watch a boy grow in to a man, all along finding peace with himself. While the book has many poems I enjoy, "Country Lanes" stands out the most to me. Each time it is so easy to imagine myself walking through the Country Lanes, hearing the cows and chickens and the smell of fresh hay. Thank you for the opportunity to follow you on your journey and giving me a glimpse into your alluring mind... not cruel yet not kind! ..Kim Corsaro
