"Titanic Verses" and Other Poems

Titanic Verses and other poems L Stoneys first work of poetry was completed when he was only a twenty-two-year-old student! It is a collection of over a hundred poems that you will find hard to put down once you open the first pages - even harder not to read again and again after opening the book for the first time... The poet plays around with words and puts across that message in a style so unique it can only be My Way. He touches the reader from virtually every other angle of life - the political factual social erotic bad and good rich and poor black and white slave and master heroic and villainous right through war and peace. It is a collection of poems that many will find controversial! With a bitter-sweet reference to the political pain in his land of birth the poet captures the rough and tough transition from a life of hunger to a life of plenty and highlights everything in between. Written in a unique yet simple play of words the Titanic Verses collection will appeal to the mature mind both young and old. One writer aptly captured the essence of Titanic Verses in a single grip of the pen: I am here for myself so call me by name; I am here for the dead and the living. I stand for the black and the white for the refugees. God I must be the dog you chained to the Devils leg!
