For Irish Eyes
Sep 16, 2009 – Mercer presents the reader with a treasure of snapshots—from everyday occurrences to joyous, sad, and traumatic events—set among the lush countryside of Ireland.
Join him on a walk through the heathers along the coast and experience the sights, sounds and smells where “every morning is delivered new within a package of frosted dew.” Look through Irish eyes to feel a child’s near-death experience, a betrayal of human trust, a soothing conversation with a wise old man at his countryside cottage.
Mercer’s verse, peppered with a lively, rhythmic voice, brings vivid imagery to the mind’s eye. As an artist splashes color on a canvas, this poet uses situations as a backdrop and happenings as his palette to present a masterpiece of life experiences, folklore, and legendary tales.
If you are of Irish decent you will have a unique view through Irish Eyes with this book. If you are hoping to ever visit Ireland this book will provide you with the real thing. This isn't just a book of poetry it is a story that should not me missed!
