The Credit

Discover the captivating world of poetry in "Credit" by YOUNG, published in 2018. This enchanting collection spans 118 pages and features illustrations by John Parsons, which beautifully complement the poetic narrative. Originally released as two separate volumes in the 1980s, this revised edition enriches the reader's experience with a fresh perspective.

"Credit" unfolds as an opera of word music, skillfully employing a syllabically based ottava rima that seamlessly transitions into rhyming free verse and interspersed ballads. The narrative centers around the character Hugh, a product of Jesuit education, who returns to his school on a prize-giving day, only to have his moment overshadowed by the dubious presence of Doc McGuiness, a questionable business associate.

Immerse yourself in this innovative exploration of themes, emotions, and relationships that will resonate with poetry lovers and newcomers alike. Add "Credit" to your collection today and experience the lyrical journey crafted by YOUNG.
