Poems That Were Written On Trains But Weren't Written About Trains

by Daragh Fleming

"Fleming encapsulates the realities of wanderlust. When nostalgia echoes from fleeting moments. Bustling cities become silent; strangers become lovers become strangers again. It's the desire to live in the present with the ache for the people you've left behind. Travel with him through the unravelling as he seeks familiarity in the unknown."

Faye Alexandra Rose, author of Mortal Beings.

About the author

Daragh Fleming is an author and poet from Cork in Ireland. He's weird, but in a good way. His conversational style of writing blends with a unique insight to create some very bizarre stories which not only entertain, but delve into the human condition.

He is informed by a background in psychology, linguistics, and mental health which is evident in his writing. He uses his stories as a means to commentate on the social climate of the modern era in an on-brand, provocative manner.

An incredible book about travelling around Europe be the moments that happen outside of time and space

Powerful, Poignant, Captivating.

Before discovering Daragh Fleming's poetry, I never picked up a book of poems. Now I enjoy dipping in and out of poetry more than ever.

The poems in this book made me want to drop everything and conquer the world. Sometimes you just need to slow down and take in the world around us.

This was a 5 star read for me. It is a book of poetry that you can dip in and out of. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoy poetry.

Way too short but wonderful. There are some terrific moments in this mini-collection and the promise of some really great pieces to come.
