Greg McVicker

An Irish Heart Greg McVicker

The composition of story-based poetry comes from the depths of one's soul while reflecting upon the human journey of life. Quite often, it is the author's own experiences wrapped between lines of stanza and prose. Yet, and although the footprint we leave behind is considered "unique" in its impression, it is shared with perfect strangers who become acquaintances through poetic inscriptions."The Book and Poetry are so special. It is a very heartwarming, disturbing, and complex view of how things were from Greg's journey from his beloved 'Norn Iron' to Canada, and beyond, with great principles at work in himself, and from many others whom he met along the way. It incorporates Spiritual, Psychological, and Political Dimensions. Greg's journey proves again, that despite cruelty, and terrible conditions, human beings can somehow get through the worst that life throws at us, with love, support, and friendship, which re-ignites 'the Will to Live'. His Irish, Canadian, and Humanitarian Spirit looms large through his writing and his beautiful poetry. It is profound, funny, and moving. It deserves to be read carefully to the end, in a spirit of meditative reflection in order to fully appreciate the character of the man and his journey."- Gerry Rogers. Edinburgh, Scotland.
