The Death Of Poetry by Ian D. Hall. Artwork by Cyrano Denn. Published by Beaten Track.
With two poetry books released in 2016, Black Book and Tales From The Adanac House and a third poetry book due for release this October, the reviewer who has written for The Birmingham Mail, The University of Liverpool’s student media and for the last six years been privileged to write about Liverpool’s culture, music and theatre through his website www.liverpoolsoundandvision.com, brings his first novel to the fore.
Published by the independent Beaten Track team based in Burscough, Lancashire, The Death of Poetry is a crime thriller novel set on the island of Malta and with artwork by the sensational artist Cyrano Denn.
Old lies, bitter decisions and the connected recriminations of a single moment when lives intersect and the aftermath that comes to haunt the island, The Death of Poetry is the moment when we find all that we were is based on lies and how others have perceived our actions.
