Ferlinghetti a coney island of the mind6/10/2023 Finally there is a set of 13 poems reprised from his first book of poetry of 1955, PICURES OF THE GONE WORLD. These were meant to be read aloud and accompanied by live jazz. Second come 7 poems under the collected title of Oral Messages. The first is a set of 29 poems collected under the same title as the book itself. The book is made up of three sets of poems. Since them I have often been back to this slim volume to read this or that favorite poem in the book, but I had not re-read the whole in 46 years. On a sunny crisp cold November day I curled up with a pot of hot tea and decided to go back and re-read A CONEY ISLAND OF THE MIND, a book of poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti which had deeply influenced me back in 1959 when I read it for the first time.

Back from the brink paul mcgrath6/7/2023 It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour. Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism, the story runs through the surreal highs and calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos. It is a story that runs from a hard, hidden childhood spent in Dublin's orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football. That story has until now never been told. But, behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa, McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years, he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 19. Paul McGrath is Ireland's best loved sportsman and also its least understood.
