Our Secret Recipe...
Combine the poetic works of:
* A Pennsylvania-born African-American who changed his name from Darrel to Dazz, left the army, and discovered that he had rhythm and rhyme.
* The U.S.'s "Queen of the Small Presses": she’s been called a "modern Emily Dickinson" and her work has been praised by Robert Frost.
* A Norwegian-born poet who only started getting the attention he deserved once he started writing poems in his second language.
* A senior lecturer in Political Science at Burdwan University, West Bengal, India, who writes about his love-hate relationship with Calcutta.
* A busy mother of three from Adelaide, South Australia who found her muse at thirty-five.
Add the works of eight other talented poets — aiming for diversity in their backgrounds and writing styles — and mix in some revealing interviews.
That’s how we created Shaken & Stirred: Poetry from the Far Corners — an anthology of international poetry unlike any other.
Cheers!
