Profile

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

About Me:: Angela Edgar, also know as Angee … an Inspiring New Poet, has had a love of writing since her days as a young teenager. With a diverse working history spanning Retail, Video Production, finally forging a Contact Centre career in Market Research, a writing hiatus of 6 years ensued which ended in 2006.

Taking up writing all over again, Angee put pen to paper, discovering she had a talent as if it were the dawn of a new day. Poetry came thick and fast, and with this new found confidence, followed a tentative leap into the arena of Spoken Word performances.

Job cuts in 2007, gave her the freedom, time and inspiration to tackle a previously unfulfilled dream – that of writing a book. Motivated by wanting to share her previously unheard words on paper and in person, Angee realised that her poetry was inspiring to others and resonating deeply with people.

Cultivating an online following of readers, a few of whom actively encouraged her to pursue this dream and loyally supported her growth on this developmental journey, the reality of being eventually approached by a publisher (in this case Mad Jock of Liverpool) therefore seemed inevitable.

Her publisher Rols Sperling describes one of her poems ‘Intimacy of a Kiss’ as “Very beautiful and surprisingly understated. You have an ability to throw in a line of sheer exquisiteness without even so much as a trumpet fanfare.”

Not defined by writing in one genre or style, Angee tackles any and everything that comes to her mind or her heart, sharing her experiences and observations of daily life and fantasy in her own unique style which has resulted in her first collection of poetry called INSPIRED published 11th Feb 2008 and available from www.madjockpublishers.com

"Gingerbread Men" - a poem (for those who love a nice hot cup of English tea!)

Taken from INSPIRED, my first book of poetry (available from www.madjockpublishers.com) “Gingerbread Men” Sugary sweet Red headed treat Crunchy tangy Carb filled dream I dip him in my tea Loving it as he melts I take a calorific bite In 2 or 3 he’s gone So I move onto his mates Head first, legs next Eat the middle last that’s the best Tea dipped softened biscuit Gotta be quick Cos I’m not eating the overly soggy bits Ones that fell to the bottom of the cup I’m not finishing the teas Not with a… Continue

Like the music of individual bells

That ring together as one

Understanding each other

And where they are coming from

Like the keys of a piano

Black and White

And all the shades are just right

This one important time

This colorful life

No reason to fight

Just emit our unique chimes

In concert we'll find

Our connection.
