Journeys - A Collection of Poetry
About The Poet
Kevin Sinclair started writing poetry in 1971 at the age of 15. His early influences were songwriters such as Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Harry Chapin and Melanie. While he wanted to write songs, his natural ability with words quickly shone through and that is where he concentrated his efforts.
Over the years, Kevin has written over 1400 poems with his most prolific years being 1977 to 1979. Friends encouraged him to get his poems published but he was very reluctant to do so. Then, in 1997, he established his own poetry web site where he published a small selection of his work. The frequent feedback from visitors has been very rewarding and encouraging.
A common theme runs through the feedback received from visitors to his web site. Most comment on his ability to move the reader through a whole range of emotions. Perhaps this comment made by one reader says it best: "Your poetry speaks to me in a way I thought nothing could."
Since having his poetry published on the web, Kevin has received many requests for the use of his poems. His poems have been read during weekly "stories, myths and poetry" sessions at a juvenile correctional facility in Southern California. Also, various newsletters have requested permission to reproduce some of his poems in their publications.
Kevin has recently released a collection of previously unpublished poems through Ebookstand.com. The title of this collection is "Journeys".
Kevin lives in Brisbane, Australia, with his wife, Marie.
