<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Gene Barry's gift to his readers is a poet's brilliant, courageous, and powerful rendering of<br /> family dysfunction, child abuse and sexual molestation. In this exquisite collection of poems, <br /> Barry writes with compassion and heart-wrenching expression of 'aged uncleanable stains, '<br /> where 'there were zeppelins always knocking around his skyline, ' 'belching the dark with<br /> upsetness.' In <em>Flaking the Rope</em>, Barry is not afraid to challenge us, layering his poems with<br /> wisdom and metaphor as he ventures and navigates his way into the depths of pain and<br /> trauma, revealing unconscionable acts and life-altering experiences, and, in the process, <br /> illuminating us with intelligent writing and striking word combinations. Gene Barry is a<br /> masterful poet, one who truly wants change for this world, an enlightened activist who pens<br /> gorgeous poems. <em>Flaking the Rope</em> extends love and forgiveness at its centre, expresses hope<br /> of universal healing, where 'a hug is a thesaurus that blankets every wound.'<br /> <br /> Jeannie E. Roberts, author of <em>The Wingspan of Things, Romp and Ceremony, Beyond<br /> Bulrush, Nature of it All</em> and other books.</p>
