Description

Loving, Laughing and Living is a collection of poetry and prose that encompasses an enormous variety of subject matter. Nick Card uses his often quirky, but always accessible style, to share a distinctly sideways view of the world. The book is split into two halves to enable the full range of material (both humorous and serious) to shine through. The humour has a large focus on the hilarity of everyday situations including social satire and media ridicule. Card also has the ability to describe carnal activity using creative innuendo that's often incongruously polite. These comedic poems are sharp and punchy often concluding with either a strong pay-off or an unexpected twist. The serious material has a strong focus on the truth, clawing through social façades. Despite the uplifting theme, difficulties, darkness and demons are also tackled with an honest sincerity. Romantic yearnings and encounters are sensitively recalled and spiritual matters are explored in an inspiring and prettily worded manner. Loving, Laughing and Living is essential reading for anyone who wants to explore all the elements of life's rich tapestry. "That Special Place Is ours to share. Your heart is the compass That leads you there."
