Publisher's Synopsis
Alan Patrick Traynor is a Poet from Dublin Ireland. He is the author of SEVEN DAYS OF ASHES, a poetry book written on the spirit of the Holocaust, and holocausts to come.
It has been said that his poetry is the mystical galvanic paint that sets the fields of Provence on fire. Traynor's poetry shocks the eyes and soul at once, his poems are "deep veridicous spears in a rachis sky of black feathers that will unlatch and unhinge you." In this Collection, the Poet explores Italy, Poland, India, Wales, Scotland, America, France & Spain with the 'Spear in his Spine' and leaves the reader gasping in the soul of the green fields of Ireland, with a true understanding of being there. Alan Patrick Traynor has been featured in Literary Journals worldwide, in various other international poetry collections, and is greatly respected amongst his peers. Traynor is truly seen amongst his peers as a new impassioned voice on the Island, an Irish Poet who is breaking bread on the granite altars, with the Bards of Ireland's past. "Edit not my Soul" and "Edit not Blood" are two of his own phrases that describe him best.
