Here’s my poetry reading for June. This poem was first published in September 2011 in Graffiti magazine issue 12. Watch for the cameo by the magazine itself… all I can say is that there was no gust of air present on that day. Spooky? Maybe not. Funny, perhaps!
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
Hi Leilanie, you have a very clear poetic voice, very surefooted words that carry weight. love your finish here too: “into the void from which to came…” Lovely With Best Wishes Scott
