Joy Hendry, Editor of CHAPMAN (Scotland’s quality literary magazine) in her introduction to Not Bad For A Monday said: (of the Author) “He’s irreverent, cheeky, pithy …” (of the Poems) “… [they] are clearly written for fun and are a totally un-‘pc’ zone.”
Her advice? “So, read and enjoy. There’s nothing pretentious or difficult – you can safely understand and absorb – no need to ‘look up the answers’.”
The book is in 3 sections:
• Poems
• Lyrics
• Glasgow Comic Verse
The author is arguably at his deftest in the last of these, where he uses a mild local vernacular to explore topics ranging from boiled eggs to bald patches.
Alan D Kerr’s creative essence can be summarised in the following lines:
Autobiographical Reflection
Aspiring,
Is tiring!
