The author began writing narrative verse while scarcely into his
teens. This collection encompasses his experiences in war-torn
Rhodesia in the sixties and seventies, as well as many tableaux of
a purely Canadian nature. They range from 'A visit to the circus',
and the trials and tribulations of an old dancing horse, to his 'In
the Garden' a paean to gardening in North Vancouver. His songs, a
number of which can be heard and seen on Youtube via the attached
hyper-links, range from a fun-filled 'Martini Man' to 'The
Prisoner', a song about race-bias in the North American justice
system. His ballad 'The Last voyage of the Rosy Claire' has echoes
of Gordon Lightfoot's Edmund Fitzgerald, but with a west coast
setting. The song was inspired by the sinking of the BC Ferries'
ship Queen of the North.
