To Cut a Long Story Short

By Martin Fawkes

TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT

is a collection of poetry and song lyrics from the late 20th Century, exploring "life, death, love, betrayal, redemption, the whole bloomin' thing."

I'd like to think of it as poetry for people who don't normally do poetry. But only you can be the judge of that.

This particular book regathers pieces from the chapbook of the same title I used to sell at gigs in the late 90s, also incorporating the

Moment to Moment collection as well as selected song lyrics from my Perfect Stranger band years and beyond.

It's word smithing from years ago, part of where I've come from, who I've been and who I am.

It's the stuff of life, a sometimes grounded, sometimes sideways look at the things that drive us all and the things that make us who

we are.
