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...

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.

If you are staying out of your home, you can consider a paperback ...
