{"product_id":"9781468927399","title":"The Neon Girl From 1985: And Other Poems","description":"Hi folks.   I have always been a lover of words ever since I can remember.  While sitting in my parents’ living room in Walthamstow listening to Lionel Richie’s ‘Penny Lover’ on a two deck cassette player and copying the lyrics out on a note pad I knew that there was something magical about words. Slowly it dawned upon me that I could do this. I could lay words together and create images and emotions that could affect not only me but others too.  Writing is a form of meditation for me. It takes me into that zone and when I leave that special place I feel somewhat refreshed and enlightened. This is the same for when I’m reading stories, listening to music or watching a good movie. I’m sure many people will agree that the reason why books, films and music are so popular is because they are forms of escapism.  The poetry in this e-book was created over the last 4 to 5 years.  Even when I read them now I can remember how I was feeling when I wrote them. How you feel when you read them and what images are conjured is not my business. But whatever images your mind conjures or emotions you experience I hope they enlighten and touch your soul just a little...  Thank you for your time    Now off I go to continue working on that novel...  Goodbye for now   Adrian A.
