Imagine

Poetry is the fruit of our imagination. As poets, we reflect on life as we know it, but also as we imagine it. Metaphors spring from our imagination, as we ‘see’ connections we want to record and share with others’ The gift of seeing, hearing and intuiting what others don’t, has informed the great inventors, writers, artists and musicians throughout the ages.

As you join the poets featured in this anthology and share in their imaginings – from the down-to- earth dailyness of life to wondering and meditating on mysteries beyond our understanding – may their words ‘tickle the ivories’ of your own imaginations in ways that enlarge your lives.

“This striking anthology features ‘lmagine’ as verb, nottn, adjective and adverb, as act, as facility, as perspective, as place, as product, and as effect. The poems within range from the cosmic to the domestic, from Biblical and prehistoric origins to human and familial ghosts, from memories of war and youth to moments of love and regret, from schoolyard to conflict-zone to red desert to old people’s home, from water dazzle to blue wren flitter, from What ls to What lf … Generosities of words shaped for wonder…” Earl Livings – Writer, Editor, Teacher
