"Osborne Street Attic Blues" is the perfect collection for readers who appreciate thoughtful, accessible poetry with an ironic twist. A graduate of the writing program at William Paterson University, Bill Gleeson, M.A., weaves the hope and happiness of childhood with the regrets and nostalgia of middle age. Semi-autobiographical and sometimes surreal, the forty-four varied poems of this collection begin, like so many lives, in curiosity and end in transformation, and are designed to appeal to readers who enjoy an engaging, rich style and a diversity of form.
