TORQUAY, Australia, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Raymond Cooper returns to the literary limelight with "The Smell of Seaweed" (published by Trafford Publishing), the latest addition to his poetry series that shares his philosophy and feeling about love and living.
This book weaves together heartfelt verses, evocative images and introspective thoughts. Poems both happy and sad both all come together to create a sense of hope and longing. With vivid imagery and simple illustrations, this collection captures the essence of love and life's nuances.
"I think we all need to pause and remember some of the good times of our life," Cooper states.
A snippet from the book reads:
There are no Silver Dollar bars
in San Francisco now
and so no jackpots to be won.
But even then
we were wise enough
to only play
the penny machines.

About the Author
Raymond Cooper has traveled and lived extensively throughout his life, and though spending much of his time in Hawaii, now lives and writes in Torquay, Australia. He has worked as a lifeguard, flight attendant, photographer, actor, film director, gardener, and more. His skills as both a photographer and a writer allow him to share his most private thoughts and times with others. It was in his late teens that he fell in love with the camera, feeling as comfortable in front of the lens as he was behind it. His writing skills took a back seat to his photography for some years until he realized that both mediums could work well together in expressing his thoughts, his dreams and his experiences.
