★★★★★ Kevin Cowdall's writing is hypnotizing.

Kevin Cowdall was born in Liverpool, England, where he still lives and works. In all, over 300 poems have been published in journals, magazines, and anthologies, and on web sites, in the UK and Ireland, across Europe, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, India, Canada, and the USA, and broadcast on BBC Radio.
