Synopses & Reviews
Felix Dennis, better known as the enfant terrible of magazine publishing and one of Britain's richest men, has astonishingly become Britain's best-selling poet with
A Glass Half Full.
American novelist and critic, Tom Wolfe, calls Dennis "a twenty-first century Kipling" and says that his poetry 'rollicks and rolls with rhyme, meter, and melody.'
Now, gathered together with an American audience in mind, together with a spoken-word CD, comes a selection of Dennis's poems.
Whether reflecting ruefully on getting older, celebrating Bob Dylan, serenading the United States or sending up the clichés and stereotypes of our times, Felix Dennis reveals himself as a poet with an eye for the tender telling detail, and a powerful gift for communication. Funny, touching, frank, and uncompromising, A Glass Half Full is a wonderful and inspiring collection.
