In this exquisite collection of poems, \u003cbr\u003e Barry writes with compassion and heart-wrenching expression of 'aged uncleanable stains, '\u003cbr\u003e where 'there were zeppelins always knocking around his skyline, ' 'belching the dark with\u003cbr\u003e upsetness.' In \u003cem\u003eFlaking the Rope\u003c\/em\u003e, Barry is not afraid to challenge us, layering his poems with\u003cbr\u003e wisdom and metaphor as he ventures and navigates his way into the depths of pain and\u003cbr\u003e trauma, revealing unconscionable acts and life-altering experiences, and, in the process, \u003cbr\u003e illuminating us with intelligent writing and striking word combinations. Gene Barry is a\u003cbr\u003e masterful poet, one who truly wants change for this world, an enlightened activist who pens\u003cbr\u003e gorgeous poems. \u003cem\u003eFlaking the Rope\u003c\/em\u003e extends love and forgiveness at its centre, expresses hope\u003cbr\u003e of universal healing, where 'a hug is a thesaurus that blankets every wound.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jeannie E.
