Stella Joy Armour

I live in Yorkshire, and didn't start writing until i was retired and discovered a love for poetry both in classical and free-form.

My interests include most forms of art and anything creative.

Music is my biggest inspiration, i can lose myself into poetic thoughts that my imagination turns into words.

'What a wonderful collection of writing this is, with poems, prose and short stories to admire and savour from my dear friend in writing Stella Armour. Stella writes from a pure heart and from her very soul, and her exquisite sonnets are crafted with finesse, she has mastered the form so well as sonnets are such a challenge to write.

The words that come to me to define her work are 'magic' ,'enchanting', 'romantic' 'captivating', 'touching' 'moving' and 'mature' as her wisdom can reflect on past experiences too!

I wish this special lady all the best for her writing future….Karin Anderson.' – Poet from Australia

Stella Armour is an artist. She paints words with a distinct flavour and flare that captures her readers, holding them from the opening line to the conclusion. Her poetry is a treasure, and as such, must be treasured to be enjoyed.

Chris G Vaillancourt – Poet from Canada

Stella writes accessible poetry which touches the soul. Readers worldwide have found her work both diverse and engaging in form and subject. It is my great pleasure to pay tribute to a writer who in this third volume of selected poems stirs and inspires with powerful simplicity. Stella writes straight from the heart and her work glows with both tenderness and strength. I am confident the verses shared with us within these pages will be read again and again.

Fay Slimm - Poet from Cornwall U.K.

As a reader I find that Stella’s poetry shares a wonderful vitality and is full of life and love. She has developed a wonderful way with words and shares her view of life and

the world around her through verse in such a charming and charismatic way it is hard not to fall in love with her work.

It has been a wonderful experience discovering this talented writer, getting a chance to talk with her and find out about her life and writing style.

“People are Amazing”

What a pleasure it is to comment on Stella Armour’s “Dickie Sparrow” series with its own humorous uniqueness, finesse and a longing for more. Stella’s muse has given the green light to publish this gorgeous and adorable satire that only a talented, experienced poet such as Stella could achieve.

Stella’s imagination knows no bounds, and like a feather floating in a span of buoyant blue it falls to rest on my heart, to bridge our poetry friendship in our countries so near, yet so far apart.
