HOLDING A POETRY BOOK IS SO PERSONAL

Hello Readers,

It’s so nice to pick up a book at the library, a book you’ve been waiting for, for a while. Or perhaps you actually visit a bookstore in your lunch hour and peruse the bookshelves, to fill in a bit of time. Perhaps you know what you are looking for or perhaps not.

I wonder what bookshelf you may look at first? Perhaps it’s world history, or geography or a book about quilting, or painting or perhaps learning to play chess. There is just so much to choose from, to learn from, and to broaden our horizons. Many of us love travel books, and look forward to a holiday somewhere. So, we live and learn as we go through life, finding what interests us.

I have left out the poetry section of a bookstore, do you visit this, I wonder? I do, and I know that one of the reasons I like to buy a book, paperback or hardback, is because it is so personal. It’s so nice to actually have a book in your hands; to turn the page and also to put the book on your bookshelf at home. It is nice to start a collection of poetry books, and when you walk past the bookshelves, you can see them. Later on, you may want to refer to it, just to re-read a particular poem. You know, a poetry book is so much more than any other book. It’s something very special, to hold and turn the pages, and immerse yourself in another world.

A poetry book is very romantic, I think more people who want to read poetry, should consider buying my paperback version of my second poetry book, ‘Waking Up To Beauty’, published by Austin Macauley Publishers, London, April 29, 2022. I hope you will find the poems appealing and refreshing.

When you are reading the poetry to a loved one, you are actually holding the book with the nice cover page, which brings it all together, and it’s a joy to look at. This is special.

If you have enjoyed poetry, throughout your life, or you are a newcomer to poetry, I think you will enjoy my new poetry book, ‘Waking Up To Beauty’. Below are some quick ways you can find out all about my book and about me.
