In this exquisite collection of poems,\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBarry writes with compassion and heart-wrenching expression of 'aged uncleanable stains,'\n\u003cbr\u003e\nwhere 'there were zeppelins always knocking around his skyline,' 'belching the dark with\n\u003cbr\u003e\nupsetness.' In Flaking the Rope, Barry is not afraid to challenge us, layering his poems with\n\u003cbr\u003e\nwisdom and metaphor as he ventures and navigates his way into the depths of pain and\n\u003cbr\u003e\ntrauma, revealing unconscionable acts and life-altering experiences, and, in the process,\n\u003cbr\u003e\nilluminating us with intelligent writing and striking word combinations. Gene Barry is a\n\u003cbr\u003e\nmasterful poet, one who truly wants change for this world, an enlightened activist who pens\n\u003cbr\u003e\ngorgeous poems. Flaking the Rope extends love and forgiveness at its centre, expresses hope\n\u003cbr\u003e\nof universal healing, where 'a hug is a thesaurus that blankets every wound.'\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJeannie E. Roberts, author of The Wingspan of Things, Romp and Ceremony, Beyond\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBulrush, Nature of it All and other books.","brand":"Nixes Mate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53682121179478,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781949279078_1.jpg?v=1778850840","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/barry-gene-flaking-the-rope-9781949279078","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
