Poetry 'n That

This is the ultimate collection of S.G. McCloskey's poetic works, containing everything ever penned until 2018."This collection of short poems cover a diverse array of topics, discussing Brexit, Theresa May's time as prime minister, Scottish independence, and the plight of the downtrodden during Christmas over the course of its pages. The author approaches politics, love, sex, and social expectations candidly...The poems discuss politics with little appreciation for the monarchy or Tory government, though they seem designed to make the poetic messages as enjoyable as possible without watering down the author's convictions, to where the focus is more on change than on blaming the voters......The poems have a generally positive tone, though poignant at times, especially when discussing the glory of Scotland and how things have changed since the nation became part of Great Britain. Overall, the collection is life affirming, urging readers to have a positive outlook on humanity at large, though it deprecates the actions of the elite 1% with a decidedly satirical flair......Readers who enjoy the heartfelt observations and opinions of an outspoken artist will enjoy these poems. They're vibrant, colorful, and culturally-sensitive while reflecting upon universal ideas like freedom, life, and love."- The Book Review Directory
