By: New Generation Publishing New Generation Publishing releases "Irritating The Silver Lining" by Dave Kurley An eclectic new collection of poems and photographs About the book: They say every cloud has a silver lining. This book of poems and photographs is the result of IRRITATING THE SILVER LINING with the grit of Dave Kurley's imagination for the last couple of years. In here you will find a veritable downpour of little pearls, perfectly formed. There is love of many different kinds. Misplaced anger. Grief and loss. Musings on anxiety and depression. The pandemic (inevitably) Dave Kurley is constantly amazed by the fact he was born in Sheffield in 1962. He has been, at various times, an actor, a dry stone waller, a civil servant, a stand-up comedian, a sales rep, a singer, a pub manager, a playwright, a call centre operative and a podcaster. This list is neither exhaustive nor complete. Currently, he is a prize-winning poet and a conversational English tutor. These things are subject to change. He is equally amazed that these days he lives in central Portugal, with his lovely wife Alison (this is not subject to change), and a lot of sunshine and butterflies. He enjoys performing his poetry, both live and online. You'll find him in Kurleybobs' Poetry Corner on Instagram or Facebook. Say hello when you get there. He'd like that. Excerpt from "Irritating the Silver Lining": "Seeding inchoate clouds Until they darken and bloat Become pleasingly plump plums Salting the cumulonimbus Until the contents calcify And can no longer remain aloft Irritating the silver lining Until the sky weeps mother's pearls Perfectly perfect, unblemished spheres Precious hail for eager, grasping fingers To pluck for punnets From shattered windshields Concave bonnets And flayed allotments After the beautiful glistening downpour." "Irritating the Silver Lining" by Dave Kurley is currently available in paperback (ISBN #978-1803694276) Available through all good booksellers including Amazon, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble For interview, comment and information about this book of poetry from New Generation Publishing, email: info@newgeneration- End
