"Titanic Verses" and other poems

About the Book

This is a amazing collection of over a hundred poems that you will find hard to put down once you open the first pages. It covers a wide range of topics on life and its challenges...

The young poet plays around with words and puts across his message in a very unique style. He touches the reader from virtually every other angle of life - political, factual, social, erotic, poverty, race, oppression, war, love, etc.

It is a collection of poems that many will find very controversial!

The poet captures many people's rough and tough transitions from a life of disadvantage to that of opportunity, and highlights everything in between. Written in a unique yet simple play of words, the Titanic Verses collection will appeal to the mature and open-minded, both young and old.

About the Author

Stoney started working on Titanic Verses when he was still a high school student, as the co-editor of the school magazine and newsletter, and president of the school's Creative Writers' Circle.

By the time the anthology was completed, he was a twenty-two-year-old Trainee Chartered Accountant reading for a Bachelor of Accounting Science degree with the University of South Africa. From PricewaterhouseCoopers to Deloitte & Touche, he has practiced as an auditor, and subsequently as a senior Finance Executive.

While focusing on developing his audit and financial management career, this anthology was read and edited by several authors, poets and other artistes in Southern Africa. Some of the poems have won several international awards, and appeared in several publications across the globe.

By the time this collection was eventually published in 2007, the poet was back in the audit profession, in New York City, USA.
