Mares Eat Oats (Mersey Dotes) is a richly observed, often humorous collection of verse rooted in the life, history, and character of Liverpool and its people. Featuring Titanic - White Star Line. From dockside memories and clerical reflections to lively tales of local personalities and poignant evocations of the Titanic, Dick Hayes captures the spirit of the Mersey with wit, warmth, and an affectionate eye for detail.
Blending traditional rhyme and rhythm with narrative flair, these poems move effortlessly between comedy and contemplation, celebrating everyday moments while reflecting on heritage, community, and change.
Evocative, musical, and full of character, this is a collection that invites you to pause, reflect, and enjoy the rich humour and humanity woven through each poem.
