One Word At a Time

By Karen Ankers

One Word At A Time throbs with empathy and compassion. Universal human experiences are explored with great sensitivity and delicacy. It rails against the injustices of this world, and those too blind or ignorant to care. Grief-soaked and world-weary, the poems stand up again and again to speak truths and shout with righteous anger at the powerful and the immoral. This is a collection that shines with honesty and integrity. Tissues not included (you may want to bring your own).

ONE WORD AT A TIME

A collection of original poems

REVIEWS

These poets have offered their thoughts as an introduction to the following pages.

In this collection the poet addresses many issues that affect the human condition: the highs, the lows, the joys, the woes. She uses words in much the same way that a skilled surgeon might use a scalpel. As a result the poems have the ability to simultaneously raise a lump in the throat whilst bringing a smile to the lips, and are always ultimately therapeutic.  One final word of warning: read with care, enjoy, but be aware they could quite easily become addictive.

Trefor Stockwell

These are searching poems, unafraid to reach into pain, unafraid to bear ‘love towards spring’.

Fiona Owen

Beautifully, honestly conceived

Cynthia Buell Thomas

distilled beauty of expression

Ray Pool

In a time when we seem to be losing our skills of communication this reaffirms our true connections, those of humanity….Hits the emotional soft spot like a punch in the gut.
