An employment sabbatical in 2007 gave Angela Edgar the freedom, time and inspiration to tackle a previously unfulfilled dream that of writing a book when a 6 year writing hiatus ended in 2006. Motivated by wanting to share her previously unheard words on paper and in person, Angee realised that her poetry was resonating deeply and inspiring people. Her publisher Rols Sperling describes one of her poems Intimacy of a Kiss as Very beautiful and surprisingly understated. You have an ability to throw in a line of sheer exquisiteness without even so much as a trumpet fanfare. Not defined by writing in one genre or style, Angee tackles any and everything that comes to her mind or her heart by sharing thoughts, experiences and observations of life and fantasy in her own unique style which has resulted in INSPIRED, her first collection of poetry.
Angela Edgar lives in London, England. Currently in-training for a secret new career... she lives for writing poetry, loves learning new things and hosting her yearly 30 day National Poetry Month celebratory writing exercise called The April Write.
But I will say, it was a wonderful experience putting my first poetry collection together, even though it was extremely hard work but ever so rewarding to see it in print!
I covered lots of themes and wanted to include more poems but I think I got the balance just right and I think it has done over time what I wanted it to achieve...
It inspired some people to pick up a pen and starting writing to show if I could do this... then so could you.
