Blokelore and Blokesongs: From Old Fred: From Old Fred (Fred Faraday, Philosopher, 1917-1979)

In this hilarious and irreverent new collection, Robert Conquest, now in his ninety-fifth year and still writing poems of the very highest quality, lets us in on the musings of Old Fred, a man much given to reflection on the relationship between the sexes, and wholly impervious to notions of political correctness. The poems display all of Conquest’s customary skills, and give witty expression to a mind at once resigned and optimistic, baffled and amused, stoical and exuberant. —- ISBN: 9781904130482
