Today heralds another release from the epic Dagda Publishing which as mentioned in a previous post has just released the wonderful Tuned to a Dead Channel, an anthology of dystopian creativity and wonder which is a must read for any true literary enthusiast. This next release is an anthology of a different kind. Held within are forty two examples of poetic genius ranging from the epic to the mythological and each one a celebration of rhythm and meter. Much like Tuned I can recommend this as a great read, one you will not be disappointed in.
There is a difference with this anthology however. Within it’s bindings I have managed to get some of my own work published. This is a great honour, one which I hope will not disappoint readers and one which has spurred me to continue to try and get more of my work published. Poetry for me is not a regular occurrence within my writing, it is usually when something moves me. I have written poems about ex friends, mythology and I’m sure I will be hit with the poetry bug when I look into my little girls eyes for the first time (roll on January.) This post however is not for me to ‘toot my own horn’ as it were but to let readers know of the sheer genius of my fellow poets and of a book that is a must have for everyone.
I believe one of the most admirable aspects of this release however is that for every copy that is bought, fifty percent of the proceeds goes to the charity known as Shelter, a wonderful charity that works to house the homeless. Not only is great literary creativity spread to the World but a wonderful cause gets the support it so desperately needs. I urge all readers to buy this book from this truly great publisher as you will not be disappointed in the slightest; and as always, my review of the book is to follow 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Available now, fantastic anthology of new poets, including my good friend Andrea and, better yet, half the proceeds going to Shelter, a charity for the homeless in the UK. Pick up a copy today to feed your soul as well as feed those in need 🙂
