Aussie Trucker turned Poet, David J. Delaney (Book Review)
I was delighted when David contacted me to review his poetry book, and even more delighted to sit with my morning coffee and read through his book entitled “My Small Book of Poems“. His poetry comes from his heart, and touches a wide range of emotions that all can relate to…from his restless contemplations on war, to his loving poem to his wife, to the beauty of his homeland, Australia.
In his brief biographical at the beginning of the book, David shares “Having had no formal education in writing I wanted to show that someone like myself without high schooling, could write and enjoy it. For me school was a place to “hang out” with my mates and I actually only completed 3 months of high school before leaving.” David goes on to say that he does believe that children, having excellent educational opportunities today, should complete them. Before he became an author, he operated a furniture removal business with this wife. His writings are inspired by his memories…driving the outback, his wife, his daughters, grandchildren, war veterans and more.
