The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death.
In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.
The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents.
In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were blighted by drink and the seemingly unending consumption of it.
The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with the names of these lost talents.
