Publisher's Synopsis
"Not just a read. An experience." -Patrick N."With a beautiful economy and an eye for the absurd, Horace Martin's poems and stories deliver a tale of a life fully lived. Hilarious and poignant, outrageous and tender, LESSONS offers us a wisdom built out of loss but told with such big hearted joy, we are all spellbound in its wake." -Molly Parker FROM THE AUTHOR: "I did not conform. I did not have a formal education. I have been a bricklayer, a sailor, a boxer, an actor, a felon, a regular at boys' homes, detention centers, lunatic asylums, and prisons. A very exciting life and also very painful." -Horace Martin (born in Ireland, raised in the UK, and knocked head across the world)
