Interview with Jacqueline! Jacqueline Kimberly is becoming a staple name in the world of poetry. Her debut book, "Confessions Over Tequila" made it to the Amazon Bestsellers list in multiple categories, prominently also the coveted Canadian Poetry Charts. Interview excerpts below: 1. Confessions Over Tequila just charted in the Canadian PoetryBestsellers List and numerous other charts. How are you feeling?   Honestly? I was in complete disbelief for the first couple of days. I kept double-checking, thinking it couldn’t be real. It didn’t fully register at first. Now that it’s finally sinking in, I feel incredibly grateful and genuinely happy. This book came from such a raw, honest place, so seeing it resonate like this means more than I know how to put into words. 2. Spencer says you are one of the new members of the Collab Tour.

Confessions: Book Review!

Image
Confessions Over Tequila  Confessions Over Tequila by Jacqueline Kimberly is a brilliant poetry collection that has themes related to issues of love, vulnerability, patience and love expressions in the purest form possible.  Jacqueline gets in touch with the inner recesses of her soul to write a poetry collection that would ultimately reshape poetry and expression moving forward. The style and arrangement of the book is also refreshing and revolutionary, as the book just goes straight into the deep end of 2am Confessions, transparently expressed by a debut poet that has come to stay. Jacqueline is an official member of the Collab Tour, the best writers club in the world, and “Confessions Over Tequila” represents the 17th publication from the Collab Tour.  Joseph Spencer Collab Tour/Founder.

PRISDANTE SEASON!

Image
“The Poet’s Way Project” It was an unremarkable day sometime early in the year, around the time of Rhonda Yates, “Ashes to Ice” Poetry Contest in celebration of her book “Ashes to Ice” going Number 1 in multiple categories on Amazon and I saw Jonathon’s entry for the competition and something instantly struck me.  His poetry had a pristine quality to it, almost impossible to fully explain the spectrum of feelings a person gets from reading Jonathon.  Fast forward, he is one of the finalists of the competition and joins the Collab Tour.  His poetry, with its tinge of history and philosophy for me had a quality that needed to be highlighted.   As it was to be, Jonathon already had dreams of publishing his debut collection but was not too sure how to go about it , what with a following then of about 300 followers and no serious buzz to his poetry.  I was convinced regardless and the dream started with a strict regimen on how to get bett...

Prisdante: Book Review!

PRISDANTE: THE POET'S WAY In 2025, "PRISDANTE" represents the future of poetry. Gone are the days of "bubble gum" poetry or poetry for poetry's sake.  It is almost too hard to believe that this is actually a debut collection as Jonathon shook a lot of tables that veteran writers dare not trodd.  His fearlessness in confronting norms and providing alternative ways to insight is simply incredible.  "PRISDANTE" has it's fair share of Heroes and Villains, and the Occasional Clowns in between.  Jonathon proclaims himself a "Mad Man" and in some pages, you actually start to believe him, as his fearlessness in questioning foundations as old as time itself can either be categorized as Genius or Madness.  Mad Genius is what I would characterize his way of thinking.  The Love of knowledge, truth and insight rings true in all facets of the book and Jonathon historically retells classic stories like "Icarus", but with a spin...
