Synopsis

When the Banshee Howls, the third book by critically acclaimed poet, John W Leys, is a deftly considered collection of poetry, photographs, and artwork that defines an epoch in a man's life and tells a story of loves-lost and found-death, depression, spirituality, survival, and hope.

Through a series of individual poems, Leys weaves a tale that begins with a journey, a melancholy return to the beginning, contemplation of death in middle-age as she draws nearer, love and loss, the encroaching darkness, the chill at the edge of the cliff, and the rediscovery of life, joy, and love. It is a story of a man's faith and a journey back to himself. It is a story of hope.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

John W. Leys was first moved to write song lyrics after being introduced to the Beatles and Bob Dylan when he was a teenager. A chance encounter with a radioactive fountain pen turned him into a ukulele playing poet, a curse he's had to live with for decadesThe greatest influences on his poetry have been Lord Byron, Leonard Cohen, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Catullus, Erica Jong, and a chemical imbalance in his brain.John's first poetry collection, The Darkness of his Dreams, was published in 2019. His second book, Whispers of a One-Eyed Raven: Mythological Poetry, followed the next year. He's also been published in anthologies from Indie Blu(e) Publishing, one of which he helped edit. He often wonders, in the third person, if anyone reads the About the Author bits, or if he's just wasting his time trying to be clever.When not writing poetry, John can usually be found playing one of his many ukuleles or feeding the crows & ravens in the park.
