About the Author

Preface What is the Year of the Poet? The year of the poet is a one of a kind wonderful collaborative cognizant commitment offered as a free download and a low cost book form by 14 dedicated poets being published once a month for an entire year of 2014. The reason we created it is because statically they say that the average Author will publish maybe one book a year. The more productive writers, perhaps a few, and yet the average reader can read a typical novel in somewhere between 2 hours and 3 days. Statistics also say, the average person will read about 6-7 books a year. This was the conversation that sparked 'just bill' and I to consider and thus commit to publish a book a month for the entire year of 2014. This was never about who is the best or better than anyone else as far as their writing. This was to ensure that we exceeded the mundane statistics of being ordinary. We are not doing it for the fame; WE are doing it to sharpen our pens with devotion. As you read the lineup, it will give you frissons to know that each one of the Writers on this team despite their location, culture, political and religious beliefs; despite what's going on in each of their personal lives are dedicated to bringing this into fruition and thus creating history. Ladies and Gentlemen . . . This is simply and intricately historic. Sometimes theme based as a collective awareness... What else could we possibly call it besides, The Year Of The Poet? Look at the elite pens on this roll call The Poetry Posse that are self-conscious and unselfishly committed to raising the bar within. This is a task and vision that we have under taken to add to our poetic resume as well as share our offerings with you . . . You get the best of our ink for FREE and We are delighted to be read. We All Win! Remain empowered and inspired Enjoy; Jamie Bond
