Book Synopsis
13 POEMS from The Ragpicker's Bundle is a collection of the poems from the larger book that was completed earlier this year (2026). Originally, Mark Knopfler's song 'The Ragpicker's Dream' was the inspiration for beginning the work on the collection of essays, stories, and poems. Ultimately, Charles Baudelaire's poem 'The Ragpicker's Wine' supplied the necessary impetus to complete the work. Several of the pieces have been published on my website ESP.Literature. The eclectic nature of the poems in this volume is intended to reflect the hodgepodge nature of a ragpicker's treasures.
