John McCarthy explores pain, healing in new book of poetry

The thought-provoking collection of poetry “Exposed: A Collection of Poems” (published by iUniverse) by John McCarthy offers an honest reflection of life’s experiences and a search for a higher calling. Like many poetry collections, McCarthy has assembled “Exposed” to present a message: A man’s journey from a dark, bleak place, riddled with despair, finding his way to redemption through hope and acknowledgment. An excerpt from “Exposed,” from the poem “In an Old Gray Town”: “This nameless old town, whose Outlook is bleak Has nameless old people, whose Names we don’t speak And shutters and gates that Rattle and creak. An old town with old people, who Rattle and creak.” Readers will discover in McCarthy’s verse real, honest emotions exposed for anyone to see. His poems are honest, empathic and compelling, each of them demonstrating the pain and healing of a man’s soul. Source: PRWEB
