Book Description
This is David Earl Holcomb s second book. Excerpts can be seen on his website: davidearlholcomb.homestead.com. He describes his poems variously as intellectual, silly, irreverent, sophisticated, moronic, flippant, politically incorrect, strange, and (hopefully) funny. The pun is important in Mr. Holcomb s arsenal and he wields it with a zany wit. A few of his poems have a slight Liberal tendancy, such as Bush Can Kiss My Tush, and Government Roadsigns, but Conservatives can skip over these few items and calmly enjoy the rest. The poems cover a varied number of topics from Philosophy to Literature to Mystery to History, and more. Here is an example of his style from the first page of the book. What Is Doggerel?by David Earl HolcombDoggerel has nothing to do with dogs it seems.It's a kind of verse without exalted themes.Poetry is like a storm upon the seas;doggerel is like a hound dog scratching fleas.Poetry is like the rising sun at dawn;doggere is like a mutt crapping on your lawn.Poetry is like a mile-high mountain trail;doggerel is like a mongrel chasing its tail.Poetry is like an oak in a mighty breeze;doggerel is more like what dogs do to trees.Poetry gives us lofty thoughts to think;doggerel uses the john to get a drink.Read on, my friend, we are going to have a ball.But doggerel really doesn t mean dogs at all.

Book Description
“The British coast is where journeys begin and where journeys end, where sun rises and where sun sets.” In John Chatterton’s A Walk by the Sea, John tells the story of his journey from Land’s End to circumnavigate an island with a longer coastline than France or India with an infinite variety of landscapes, seascapes and cultures. After having always wanted to walk the coastline of Great Britain and returning to normality after the foot and mouth epidemic was declared over in 2001, John started his epic journey around Great Britain. He quickly realised that this was not just a walk, and this book is certainly not a walker’s handy guidebook to the periphery of Blake’s ‘green and pleasant land,’ but something much deeper and meaningful. For John, walking gets the most out of travel, but this was a ‘journey’ not a walk. The journey is a reflection of Britain in the first millennium of the 21st century - its events its places and its people. Walking, unlike other forms of travel, allows time for expansion of thoughts and ideas, and reflections on life and times. This journey uses Britain as a backdrop to explore philosophical, social, political, geographical and cultural issues that spring to mind on the way. Although these thoughts and ideas are physically separate from the journey, John explains how they are also a deeply intrinsic part of it too. “A Walk by the Sea is much more than a usual guidebook but, instead, is a psycho-geographical journey around the Great British coastline in thefirst decade of the new millennium,” comments John.
