More Misery Than Joy is a warm and witty collection of poetry that reveals the essence of author John Burke's view of the world. Touching and yet humorous, the best introduction to his poetry his own poetic invitation:
About The Book
Warning! Puritans should stay away,
You'll only throw stones my way!
What is an artist if not a person
who causes people to ponder
and impart their impressions
even if they are wrong, I wonder?
For everyone has an opinion,
whether lies or whether truth
and conclusions never really come;
Because there is no proof!
Up, to Australians is
The opposite direction I think it is!
