The Brooklyn Sunflower, is the debut book of poetry by author Patrick Edward Tarpey. This unpretentious collection is aptly titled after the flowers lining the block of brownstones where he lived in Brooklyn, New York. Tarpey’s poems exalt the beauty in the simple things, capture the honesty in the simple moments, and seize the joy of the simple scenes right under our noses. Each page is like a pleasant stroll through Tarpey’s life depicted by little poems humanizing the morning dawn, the night sky and an assortment of moments in between set to a lovely melody.
Patrick Edward Tarpey, a New York native, is a true Renaissance man, whose interests and expertise are as wide are they are varied. He is equally at home in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 in flight over the Atlantic as he is on his longboard, riding waves, or behind the wheel of his vintage 1975 Corvette Stingray convertible. Before writing this debut book of poetry, he worked on seventeen Broadway theatre productions, a combination of musicals and love-storied dramas.
