POETRY IS NOT UNPOPULAR; it is bad poetry that is shunned. The public passion for Michael Walsh verse was such that 1,000 copies of A Sea Veneer of Merseyside sold out in weeks. The lyricist then printed 2,000 copies of Believing of Liverpool. This collection sold out within a few months. Accolades to the bard's gift poured in from household name celebrities, the political elite and heads of church. More important, tributes poured in from ordinary people scattered all over the world. When his poignant poem, When After Fifteen Minutes appeared on social media it received over 300 tributes in hours. His name has been compared to Robert Browning, Robert Service, and Leo Tolstoy. Michael Walsh is shunned by the literary elite because he has given discerning readers what they want; quality poetry they relate to, understand, and which makes them feel better as human beings. Over 50 years he has composed more than 1,000 poems whilst Believing of Liverpool is his 11th collection.
