Linda Stevenson

What this episode covers

Linda Stevenson has a great poetry blog, 'Written there on skin' :http://writtenonskin.blogspot.com.au/'Linda Stevenson is a thoughtful poet whose work ranges from intellectual word play to direct and simple appeals to the emotions. One of her own paintings forms the beautiful cover illustration. Her words paint pictures too – scenes and images that continue to haunt the reader after the words have been read.  And her language is full of music.'      REVIEW by Rosemary Nissen-WadeLinda says of her writing, "My poetry is a part of my life, that creative part so vital to our human individuality. It has been a lifelong habit, scribbling words down, from childhood on through adolescence, adulthood and now into mature older age.I love the process that takes the poet from the raw first phrases on through the building of themes and expressed ideas and finally to the crafting of a satisfying work. The sharing of that creation with others is the icing on the cake." To buy Linda's chapbook Written on SkinOrders and pre-orders From Blank Rune Press, via Linda’s poetry blog ‘Written There on Skin’Via the Blank Rune Books Facebook pageBy email Valli will take a firm order, supply payment details, and forward the book after the money is received in the account.Order price: RRP $15 AUD including P&H.
