Days Like These: A Gift for the Spirit
by Tom McCoy
Category: Poetry

Terse and evocative, the verse in this collection of poems is characterised by a warm, original voice, and by a remarkable stoicism in the face of adversity. These poems express one man's experiences in the 20th century and reflect a life lived richly and reflected upon fully. A deeply felt affinity for the natural world dominates many of the poems, which employ themes from the natural world to create rustic snapshots of life in rural America.
