Extra Ordinary Thoughts

Annie Kendall is a new poet. Not just a newly published poet, but a new poet, who only began writing in 2014. She doesn’t have any letters after her name or any further education titles or honours to claim, other than flunking at the University of Life Stages One, Two, Three and Four. She does have very good observational skills. She takes what she sees, hears, feels and thinks and in her own progressing style writes and weaves poems about anything and anything. Broken laptop keyboards, self, place, environment, rusty screws, family, ordinary thoughts, extra ordinary thoughts; not extraordinary thoughts, just extra ones, each taken to tell their own tale or woven in with another. With a quirky sense of humour, possibly slightly twisted, there is a lovely mix of serious and funny poems, something to suit most folks. Annie's a performance poet too, renowned around the North of England for her set of poems about her home county of Cumbria and the Cumbrian dialect. These poems are included in this collection
