Kim van Breda

Reading and writing poetry are my life passions. I enjoy contemporary reads and lean toward the abstract in my own writing. I have published 54 collections of poetry, the latest being my 55th published book titled ‘ICE MAIDEN MEMOIRS’. Besides these one biography and then this book. I have a number of books published at some of the well-known online retail sites that publish print books and e-books. Presently I am in the process of publishing e-book versions of existing books as well as new ones, in various formats, as required by different publishing, marketing and distributors of e-books.

Besides the above, I also write poems and interact with a number of authors on various poetry sites. My e-books and print version books are available at various online retail outlets including Amazon, Smashwords and Blurb. Most of my books layouts are with full page vivid color image backgrounds and artwork with text overlay on them. Reading other poets, listening to music, normally gets me inspired. I always have my phone memo or a notebook and pen on me to jot down lines anywhere and any time. When I polish up on a poem or story it is normally in my writing attic on my computer. And out there, I decide on a title, often from one of my poems, then work the cover design/image around that with the help and expertise of my layout artist.
