It seems rather apt that with social media struggling to achieve a balance between hatred and compassion a rather lovely ‘rattle bag’ is being published.
52 LOVES is a beautiful collection of quirky and extremely well-written stories and beautiful poetry of every persuasion. Authors and Poets who have contributed include, Tina Rath [UK] of Cake and Quill fame, TSW Sharman [USA], Parveen Sethi, Wing-Ho Lin—[Hong Kong / UK], Katy Maxwell—UK, Liam Hogan—UK, Alex Lindquist—USA, David T. K. Wong—China / Malaysia, Ndaba Sibanda—Zimbabwe / Angola, Brenda Anderson—Australia. The charismatic and talented, Yolanda Christian contributed and edited the project.
And I have a couple of poems inside.
It is available here 52LOVES for the UK and here 52LOVES (USA) for America but is available on all the amazon international sites.
‘To have a story or a poem for each week of the year strikes me as a very cool idea. This international collection featuring writers from all over the world had such an interesting ring to its title. And I must say that my curiosity has been whetted by what I have read so far. Tina Rath’s Carnival and Nalini Priyadarshni’s Your Name and Blooms of Dawn are short, sensuous poems that I enjoyed immensely. Meet Roderick by David Bentley is an altogether a different flavor. So many different hues of love in one book….a fantastic read for the Valentine month. I don’t think I will wait till December to finish it’. Vikas Singh

You have a lovely way of expressing yourself on this blog. Your own contribution to 52LOVES is a set of poems both raw yet well-considered. There’s a touch of the genius about you, you know.
All of your poems are all worth mentioning, but Week 7 ‘Boo’ springs to mind immediately, and provides very nice company to Week 6 ‘The Troll Queen’ by Brenda Anderson of Australia.
I’m hoping to give a public reading tomorrow using extracts of 52LOVES: writers from around the world short stories & poems.
Finally, I’m very proud that you’re a part of 52LOVES. Thank you for your support throughout the year.
