This collection comes as the result of an employment sabbatical, the end of a six year writing hiatus and a life-time in development.
“Inspired is a poetic cornucopia of goodies with a tantalizing flavor worth savoring. …a compelling collection of poetry offering a kaleidoscopic glimpse into the mind, heart, and soul of a gifted wordsmith on the rise. The literary world has now seen the birth of its latest rising poetic star, and be on the lookout for more as she continues to shine.” Wendy Paulson, Apex Reviews.
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.
