Hey book lover! Today I am bringing a Release Update of a fantastic poetry collection for you. The book is published by Indigo Dreams Publishing LTD. and the name of the book is Owl Unbound . It is written by Zoe Brooks. Zoe's collection was published on 01/10/2020. There's a total of sixty pages in this book which contain forty-six poetries. A little more about Of Owl Unbound: ‘Owl Unbound’ examines nature and humanity in a wide range of settings; from a stag beetle on a suburban fence to fossils on a Somerset beach, from a Cotswold roofer “tiptoeing the thin laths” to a bag lady in Covent Garden “dancing at the amplifier's right hand”. Whilst there is tender joy and love in the collection, there is also anger and loss. What reviews are saying: “Robert Frost described poetry as ‘a way of taking life by the throat’, and the fearless, vivid and immensely lyrical poems in 'Owl Unbound' do just that. A masterful collection of poems by an extraordinary poet.” -...

Hey book-lover, how are you? Today we are going to interview Jen Feroze. She has been in love with language for as long as she can remember. A former Foyle Young Poet of the Year, her poetry has appeared in national and international journals and anthologies. The Colour of Hope is her debut collection. Jen is a bookworm with a love of baking, conversation that makes your brain fizz and really good cheese. She lives by the sea in Essex with her husband and two young children. Kangkan: How did you find poetry? Or, how did poetry find you? Jen: I remember learning about haiku in primary school, aged about 8, and finding it amazing the way you could make such vivid pictures with so few words. When I was 16 I was a winner of the Foyle Young Poet of the Year award, and as part of the prize I went on a week’s writing retreat with the Arvon Foundation at Lumb Bank in Yorkshire. I can honestly say that week changed my life and made me realise how important poetry is to me. Since then I’ve alw...

Hey book lover! The first poetry book I read in 2021 is Lucía Orellana Damacela 's Inherent . The book is published by Fly On the Wall Press. You may already have watched the unboxing video of this book on my YouTube channel, in case you missed it, the video is here: Inherent has forty-seven pages. There are thirty-nine poetries in this collection, and they will collectively create a homely atmosphere in a reader's mind. Break In, Mourning, Drenched, Housekeeping and Rain Noir - these five poetries touched me so much that I was reading this book again and again to feel them more. Housekeeping holds the poet's point of view on silence, fear, loneliness, anxiety, indulgence and strength. This poem will definitely grab the reader's attention more. Lucía Orellana Damacela's Inherent can be read by anyone who loves lyricism. The poetries in this book reflect multiple cultures. Inherent belongs to home. If you are staying out of your home, you can consider a paperback ...

Hey book lover! Today we will be talking with Anna Saunders - the founder of Cheltenham Poetry Festival. She is the author of six poetry books and her latest poetry book Feverfew was released on 4th January 2021. I didn't invite her just because she is a writer or a poet. I invited her because she is also a very good reader- a pure bibliophile. I hope you will enjoy the conversation between two readers. Kangkan: The number of books written by you clearly says how much you are passionate about writing. What is the inspiration behind this? Anna: I worked for a publisher and he said I had ink in my veins rather than blood. My family are all writers, my parents were journalists, novelists, poets - and I grew up in a house full of books surrounded by passionate bibliophiles. I learnt early that literature could affect wonders - it could enchant and intoxicate, take the reader to other worlds, and I soon developed an appetite to consume it in large amounts and then to write it. I wr...

Hey book lover! Your favourite blog kmgreads completed a successful year on 25th January. When I started it, I didn't expect that I would continue it for a year. But your love and support made everything possible and I promise you that I will put more efforts to provide you with better content. To enjoy this happy moment, I invited poet, lomographer and songwriter Grae J. Wall . He is from St Albans, UK. Grae J. Wall's latest poetry book The Sound of Revolution was released on 7th December 2020. Kangkan: Music, poetry and photography -these three things have always been fascinating us, the humans and you are living the life among them. How does it feel? Grae: Quite organic I suppose, I really did just fall into the world with an innate need to create and capture and share. My mum was a poet and I was inspired by the poems she would send to the letters page of our local newspaper. I inherited my grandad’s old Kodak Brownie when I was six or seven and then aged about 11 I saw ...

Prior to Covid-19, she volunteered with VSO International at Bidibidi in Uganda, the second largest refugee settlement in the world. Kangkan: How many hours a day do you dedicate to writing?

I’m often asked to review the books of others, provide feedback on writing … and answer interview questions, as I’m doing now. In 20...

What could be more amazing than starting a new year with a fiction book (that too before its release date)! A few weeks ago, Isabelle Kenyon sent me On Borrowed Time written by Graeme Hall and told me to share my reading experience with you. The book is released on 11th January 2021. It has almost three hundred and sixty-six pages and twenty-five chapters excluding the prologue and the epilogue. The story of On Borrowed Time revolves around six characters- Sam, Emma, Kate, Alice, Yeung Kwok-wah and Susan Khoo. The prologue is set in August 1997's Hong Kong and it started with the break-up story of Sam and Emma. Emma broke up her relationship with Sam just because her visa was expiring. The author beautifully portrayed Sam's feelings on the day when Emma was going to fly to the UK. The first chapter takes back the reader to one year earlier Hong Kong and describes Sam and Emma's life from two different angles. Sam worked at McShane Adams, the law firm with his two colleag...
