- 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.
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 now.

I Never Dreamed It Was You (Poem)
When I saw your face in the crowd
I looked back in a double take
I stopped in surprise
I didn’t think it’d be you…
I never dreamed it was you…
Could be you…
Would ever be you… again…
I didn’t want to believe my eyes
It had been so long
I thought you were dead
My heart came into my mouth
My soul filled with dread
A flood of emotions returned instantly
Took me back the time we last met
I recalled our passionality…
‘Ha!’, the cynical me cried
When you left it was like… Continue

Who Would Ever Love Me? (Poem)
“WHO WOULD EVER LOVE ME?”
Who would ever love me?
I think as I look at the door
Waiting for the post to drop
Wondering what wings its way towards my letter box
On this fourteenth day of the second month.
Apprehension fills me with dread
Of all the past encounters I’ve had
Spinning my heart in circles and rocking my head
The emotions over-run and under-turn me
Forging my memories into anti-memories
So I no longer know… Continue

All About The Girl (Poem)
“ALL ABOUT THE GIRL”
It was all about the girl you see
I wanted her so badly, so he had to go free.
But not free in the sense
As you understand in having your liberty
But for me it was knowing
He wasn’t around to trouble her
And I could do as I pleased.
As far as I was concerned she would always be my girl
I didn’t care what he told me, so in my mind the plot began to unfurl...
Would I catch him in the day? When he was complete… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 30 FINALE
It’s the end of the AWC month again
This year I’ve tussled and struggled
Coming up with ideas for my pen
Plotting the days ahead for you
So we can increase our literary flow
Helping you, me and our acuity to grow
With daily reading and writing
I hope new skills you’ve gained
I hope you’ve been challenged
I hope you’ve been entertained
Another thirty days
Now draws to a close
I know I’ll shed a tear
And have to blow my nose
As the pressure eases off
I’ll wipe the sweat away
B… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 29
I hope you have had a fabulous journey
And spent well has been your precious time
The penultimate day of the AWC
Finds us here today on Day Twenty-Nine
With news of swine flu hitting Spain, Mexico and the USA
Is something strange occurring around the world today?
How could this happen and what is the cause?
Has someone let loose a virus just because?
A worldwide panic could definitely ensue
With vaccines on offer for the masses or the few
Is this something that could af… Continue

Make Time Fly And You'll Have More Fun
Everyone knows that "time flies when you’re having fun," but a new study suggests that the reverse is also true. Researchers tricked people into thinking that either time was flying … or dragging. Those who thought time had "flown by," rated their experiences as more fun.U.S.-Allied Sunni Groups Struggle Under Iraqi Control
The Sunni militias known as the Sons of Iraq, or Sahwa movement, were credited with helping to defeat al-Qaida in Iraq during the U.S. surge that began in 2007. They have fallen on hard times since coming under Iraqi government control a year ago, facing arrest and other troubles.Iran Cleric's Funeral Becomes Opposition Protest

Dave Koenig has health insurance through work, and is happy with the plan. But as the health care debate drags on, he says he's losing faith in the overhaul plan. Koenig, who calls himself a conservative, says that at first he was open to President Obama's call to regulate the insurance industry to protect patients. But as lawmakers negotiate behind closed doors, and it's still unclear how much it will cost, Koenig is growing wary of the plan. And he's hoping his health insurance won't change when all is said and done.Eurostar To Resume Service Tuesday
Eurostar said it would resume its high-speed rail service linking Britain, France and Belgium on Tuesday after a three-day suspension that stranded tens of thousands of travelers. The traffic was suspended between Paris and London through the Channel tunnel as experts tried to discover what caused five trains to get stuck while attempting the passage on Friday.Health Care Bill Heads For Passage
