Gene Barry's gift to his readers is a poet's brilliant, courageous, and powerful rendering offamily dysfunction, child abuse and sexual molestation. In this exquisite collection of poems, Barry writes with compassion and heart-wrenching expression of 'aged uncleanable stains, 'where 'there were zeppelins always knocking around his skyline, ' 'belching the dark withupsetness.' In Flaking the Rope, Barry is not afraid to challenge us, layering his poems withwisdom and metaphor as he ventures and navigates his way into the depths of pain andtrauma, revealing unconscionable acts and life-altering experiences, and, in the process, illuminating us with intelligent writing and striking word combinations. Gene Barry is amasterful poet, one who truly wants change for this world, an enlightened activist who pensgorgeous poems. Flaking the Rope extends love and forgiveness at its centre, expresses hopeof universal healing, where 'a hug is a thesaurus that blankets every wound.' Jeannie E.
