Commentary is inherently untrustworthy. By definition, it is one person’s view shared with others. Our self-narration of our personal lives, of our thoughts and beliefs, our very world is a one-sided affair. How reliable a narrator can we be of ourselves and how we view the world? Should we accept the inherent unreliability of our daily lives in what we are told, in what we read, and in what we watch?
In this third volume of poetry from Las Vegas poet Mike Falconer, we explore the writer’s views of politics, historical events, his personal life, and the place he calls home as an unreliable narrator.
Whether he is to be trusted is up to you.

About Mike Falconer
Originally hailing from Scotland, and after a career in the entertainment lighting business, Mike is the Hospital Administrator for a 14-doctor veterinary practice, and two satellite practices in Las Vegas.
A Hospital Administrator for 18 years, Mike also writes, speaks, and consults on management, human resources, marketing, and social media. A Top Writer on Quora, winner of the Founders Award from the Uncharted Veterinary Conference, and frequent poster to his own blog, Mike is also involved in various veterinary management, human resources, and marketing organizations.
In his spare time, Mike is a voracious reader, consumer of film, theater patron, renovates his house, watches hockey games, and dabbles in Yoga and hiking; both of which he does badly. He lives in North Las Vegas with his two dogs; a greyhound called Ella, and a mutt called Miles who is slowly destroying his house.
Mike’s first volume of poetry; Poems of Violence and Lies, was published in 2022 and his second; Working Dog – Poems and Prose, was published in 2023.
