Princess Ice Cream and Other Verses from the 1970s

By: McAllen, Michael

"Majestic, stately, self-possessed,
A fashion plate divinely dressed.
Miniskirts and summer blouses,
Knee-length boots and winter trousers.
Tiaras, diamonds, royal crowns,
Pyjamas, swimsuits, evening gowns.
Cotton, satin, wool, or lace,
She wears them all with equal grace."
From the poem "Princess Ice Cream"

Welcome to Michael McAllen's collection of witty, opinionated and technically assured poetry written during that strange decade, the 1970s. It includes poems about love lost, gained or never-quite-achieved, Hollywood and the British theatre scene, along with vers d'occasion, pop song parodies, political diatribes from both sides of the Atlantic, and portraits - not always flattering - of various celebrities of the time.
