Mike

Liverpool born poet and writer Michael Walsh traces his Liverpool roots back to 1865. This was the year his Irish great-grandmother arrived in the Second City of Empire. His parents were born at the turn of what was to become the most tumultuous century in history. Michael's father, Patrick, fought in three major conflicts before reaching his fortieth birthday. His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.
The journalist and broadcaster since provided articles and columns for numerous magazines and international news media. In 2011 he was awarded Writer of the Year by the publishers of Euro Weekly News, Europe's highest-circulation newspaper of its kind. He has authored, edited and ghosted over 70 book titles.

THE WHITE SLAVES OF EUROPE

THE WHITE SLAVES OF EUROPE . We’re not so very different, From what was long ago, The harvest then the people, And our own the cruellest foe, They shipped us off to colonies, Indentured, exiled slaves, Americas Australia, They worked us to our graves. Nothing much has changed, […]

ONCE BITTER FOES NOW LIE IN ROWS

ONCE BITTER FOES . Companions now, once bitter foes, Sleep together, friends, Destiny and Fate conspired to bring to bitter ends. Men who once were bitter foe, Struck to earth by a mortal blow, By men whom they might never know, But comrades once again. In slumber how […]
