    Hi Leilanie

    I really enjoyed your poem – quite powerful and heartfelt, it touched me for sure. Great to also see you performing it too, you have a beautiful tone of voice, which suits your voice very well…

    Such an amazing collection a real honest an architecture enthusiast could tune into for inspiration and independent clarity
    And for a fellow performance poet/artist like it’s a really great intuitive rue for flexible thinking and recitals. Thanks Leilanie Stewart by Mark Kamara (2015 fame)

  11. Such a nice presentation style Leilanie Beautiful smile and lilting voice. ‘Glamour girl of Archeology ‘ indeed!
