poems inspired by religion, war and the sexual politics of the twentieth century

My Heart Forgets To Beat - a bildungsroman As Oscar Wilde said “All bad poetry stems from genuine feeling,” no matter how good a verse be, the best yarn is always woolmarked “worse”. The poet Vaughan Thomas meets his Marx in a Welsh brothel, joins the Red Ragamuffins and chases the It Girl on a two-stroke motorbike. Until the worst thread no poetry can unpick, gets him knotted in Spain – the poets' war! "My Heart Forgets To Beat" is novel set in ragtime Liverpool, wallowing in history & politics, music & romance. Look out for more volumes in the series: “Leaves of the Poets”.
