Dear All,
Bobby Parker has followed his critically acclaimed 'Ghost Town Music' with the second book in his trilogy: 'Comberton'.
This is what Tony R. Rodriguez of the San Francisco Literary Examiner had to say about Ghost Town Music:
Wailing from across the pond is GHOST TOWN MUSIC, a disconcerting yet moving chapbook by the UK’s troubled child Bobby Parker, a neo-Beat madman gleaming in a bitterly remarkable glow. Parker splatters dicey content onto the pages of his book, from illicit drug use to harsh sexual encounters, and readers are left reeling from the deliberate imagery commonly uncharted by the average literary soul. However, to look upon GHOST TOWN MUSIC as merely an inebriated shuffle through life’s gutter would be an absolute and forlorn mistake. Here is a collection of tremendous vignettes, eye-opening poems, and both dire and redeeming confessionals that poets who write in the same genre would be proud to compose. It’s evident by reading Parker’s poetic beats that his art yearns for a slow shift in the tides, a reflective stroll through brighter days of atonement. Parker has presented himself as a poet worthy of a larger readership, a literary magician who has absorbed the dark days, but is staring toward the sunrise with great awe.
Ghost town music is 150 pages and costs £7. You can check it out here: http://www.knivesforksandspoonspress.co.uk
Have a good weekend now!
Alec.
