"Write & never stop writing"

"I started writing books and short stories at the age of 8 and since I have self published poetry throughout my teens and 20s. As well as successfully winning writing competitions 'The Blue Bird World' and 'Rainbow Poems', I also had a  booklet of poems published in New Jersery called 'falling'.  I have shared work with Hull Maritime Project, East Riding She Festival and BBC Look North. These have all been amazing experiences unlocked by support in my local community open mics. I would have never imagined that my words would be worth sharing. If you enjoy writing, wake up wanting to write, dream and think about it, write and never stop writing. Huge thank you to all the kind words and praises. Take a chance and try the mic!"

 A very powerful and personal anthology by this author. I loved 'you've' and 'why have a kid then?'; for me, these two poems showed a raw talent for creative writing. This collection of poems touch on hardship, lost love and observations, but show that discipline, self belief and a positive attitude to life can push through all the boundaries reality has to offer. personalized poem exceeded my expectations. It beautifully captured my feelings in a way that I couldn't put into words! 

D. J. Irvine Book Review : Sober : By Lilyth Coglan
         

 For me this was insightful, helpful, reassuring. 

Chris.S Book Review : IT Matters : By Lilyth Coglan
         

 There is a real charm and expression in this wonderful book of poems - you feel the struggles and challenges of modern life, but still carries a deep sense of hope.
