    About this ebook

    An anthology of poetry and prose by Ian D. Hall.

    Adanac
    A dream world, a land of mischief,
    of stories too numerous to entreat completely upon anyone.

    A place where an armchair becomes a throne and where a man becomes a King, staring out over the past,
    telling his young page
    the secrets he is too inherit,
    a young boy who found Adanac intoxicating
    and every once supposed every tall tale to be true.

    Tales from The Adanac House is a mixture of light and dark, an assortment of pictures that paint very personal and emotive journeys of a person who has experienced much, and has needed to throw the words out on page as only an artist can do.

    Poetry should leave you feeling a little exhausted, as if you have been on a journey and Ian D. Hall does exactly that.

      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      Jun 12, 2019

      A common admonition in creative writing pedagogy is, “Cut as many adjectives as possible.” I propose that this rule springs from mere prejudice. The post Stop Hating on Adjectives! appeared first on The Millions.
