Excerpt from, There Goes Jack "Stella Wifebeater" Jones
There goes Jonesy Wifebeater
Struggling as he goes,
Liver damaged by the drink
Charlie up his nose.
A sad and angry figure
Listen how he moans,
There goes Jonesy Wifebeater
All on his Jack Jones.

About the Book
This latest collection of poetry by Cecelia Peters is a combination of some of her most recent poems and some childhood rhymes. The Poem Sarah’s Song reflecting on a young woman's triumph over the adversity of child abuse is simplistic and melodious, whilst The Poem for Today, written at the age of 12 shows early signs of poetic powers and deep imaginary vision.
This new collection of rhymes reflects the various changes in the Poet’s consciousness. The haunting poem The Muse Has Come Upon Me tells in simple terms of the Poet’s struggle with her gift, which is interpreted as the noisome but welcome Muse. The book is a triumph and shows the Poet’s unique way with words. Her clever mix of outspoken views and ballads compels the reader to listen and to hear, as usual Cecelia leaves no stone unturned and does not mince her words.
