"Kiss the Skeleton" is a compilation of a hundred or so of my poems over forty years. Covering all aspects of life; all types of emotion. "Kiss the Skeleton" is a study of love and life. Kiss the skeleton to enter the dark play of piano on muted flute. As passion throws the shadow of doubt; for asleep you must rush to the fire. Red as the wine in the two empty glasses. Moving through the different experiences of Kennedy's life you will find joy and sadness, as in every poem is a picture of a life truly lived. Set in Australia at such places as Balmain, Kings Cross and Fremantle (as well as exploration of the desert in-between). It covers many aspects of love; as well as the pain of it's loss. It also has a war poem, poems concerning Aborigines and intimate discussions on madness. Strongly influenced by Russian, Chinese, Tamil and Indo-Malaysian verse, this book will delight and cause disquiet at the same time.
