Ten Poets, Volume Three
This is the third book of the Ten Poets series, and once again serves as a wonderful introduction to the work of poets at various stages of their poetry careers. Their words come at this modern life from many different angles, and at a range of different velocities. All though, are wordsmiths of the highest order, carving out their own poetical niche.
Some of the poets in this volume are very experienced, being previously published and frequently appearing on spoken word bills, whilst others have been plucked from open mic events where their words have risen far above the sometimes mundane offerings of others (let's not kid ourselves; open mics can be a source of amazing discoveries...but also of near-terminal boredom There, I said it ).
Dive into these pages and feast on the wordy delights within; you'll be so glad you did.
James Domestic.
This is the third volume in a series of books showcasing a variety of poets producing excellent, if sometimes unnoticed, work. This collection is intended to act as a primer to check out their other work and / or book them to perform in your city, town or village.
Poetry is everywhere and for everyone. Poetry paints pictures with words, tells stories, chews over ideas, can act as catharsis, can make you laugh like a lunatic, can make you cry tears of sorrow or joy, picks it the scabs of everyday life, ponders the absurd. Can be cruel, can be kind, can be full of passion - love and hate. Can be a catalyst for reflection, renewal, or revolution Poetry is all these things and more. Poetry is our lingua franca.
For some of the poets that feature in this collection this is their first published work, for others these poems sit alongside their other books, contributions to literary magazines, etc. It doesn't matter, they're all here in one place waiting for their words to smack you in the chops. Form an orderly queue and take these poems on the chin.
