‘’An astonishing and beautiful collection ‘’ [Rehan Quayoom] Written from the earthed ground-ness of the English countryside with brief sojourns to Martinique, Madrid and Florence. Reading them back they seemed to be intimating that we as humans are static and time happens to us. As such, consciousness can only perceive the present but memory and dream take us on intimate inner journeys to the soul of our pasts. --The ghosts of our lovers and losses of loved ones who are always with us.--
My books have been ten years in the writing and they are their own genre:-)
I hope you enjoy them and will help me get them out there in the big wide world
As for me: I grew up in Singapore and Hong Kong which I think influences my writing. I have been a poet ever since I can remember and I have been writing novels for ten years now. Apart from writing I have done many other things in the Arts world including running events and club nights in London and beyond, from the Groucho Club to the ICA, Austin Texas to Indonesia, from Jazz nights and Charity Events to new bands. I have worked for the British Council in Surabaya and in Canada, I have produced and presented my own radio shows. I've taught my own courses in Creative Writing and Performance at London University and Westminster University amongst others.
I am a traveller and have so far visited 35 countries , but at the moment I live in England by the sea.
Writing is my passion and I am so lucky to be able to do what I love .
