Description
Land of Ice is a book of poems, written over a ten year period.
Some of the poems were written in hospital. Their themes range from
existential questioning, the media, simple beauty and the effects
of my illness on my life. All these poems were written with a great
sense of enjoyment and love. I called the work Land of ice as it's
a quote from one of the poems held within. I also called it Land of
ice because of the coldness and lack of warmth this world has to
offer, sometimes. But then I feel this work can be funny, dark,
light and emotional. I tried to incorporate every bit of emotion
and thought that felt was worthy of poetics. I hope you enjoy this
piece as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Thanks it's been
emotional....
About the Author
My name is A.Sole, I was born in Berlin on January seventh 1978.
I have moved around constantly my whole life and have lived in as
many as twenty different places. I have lived in Sheffield where I
studied English at university, London, Chester, Shrewsbury to name
but a few. I now live in Nottingham where I do the odd poetry gig;
reading this stuff out. I love to paint and display my work in a
cafe in Nottingham. I love the movies and have written a film
called the naked ghost. I hope one day to write and direct my own
film.
I have suffered with hearing voices since the age of twenty one.
I also see visions and have been attacked by invisible forces such
as snakes and spiders I have felt them crawling all over my body
with no real explanation from the doctor just that I am ill. The
voices in my head range from friends, to famous people to God or
the universe as I call him, to strangers. Most of the time the
voices are quite chatty and conversational other times they are
very insulting and very repetitive. I've been sectioned under the
mental health act four times for my own safety. I have learned to
live with the voices and live quite a rich and full life.
This book of poems has taken me ten years to write, writing a
poem every so often. There is a huge range of themes contained
within this volume.
