From Gramerci and Fly My Pretties, to the musical supervision for World of Wearable Arts and the Shakespeare Pop-up Globe, multi-talented musician, Paul McLaney now adds published author to his resume.
‘Bookshop Prayers’ is the follow up from Paul McLaney’s debut book ‘The Deep Dark Hole’ a collection of 200 poems aimed at adults of all ages. Inspired by the verse of poets like Roger McGough, Brian Patten, William Blake and Spike Milligan.
These new words started as a way of compiling a body of paternal advice and comfort for his children. They soon evolved into observations and empathy with friends and family. Finally they expanded into that realm of everyone’s normal concerns; everyday poems for everyday use. Friendly verse patiently waiting in a book to have their moments. Some are sillier than others and some are sillier still. Amongst them you will hopefully discover meditations, whimsy, well-meaning advice, doggerel, spells, wordplay and above all, a love of language engaged in a motivation to kindness; rhymes of cheer and good intent.
