★★★★★ 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.

His 2016 retrospective collection, Assorted Bric-a-brac, brought together the best from three previous collections (The Reflective Image, Monochrome Leaves, and A Walk in the Park) with a selection of newer poems).
★★★★★ Like finding a perfect shell on the beach – unexpected and beautiful.

His 2019 collection, Natural Inclinations, features fifty poems with a common theme of the natural world.
