KEDCO's latest poetry CD-ROM, PINKY'S LITTLE BOOK OF SHADOWS, by award winning poet Pinky Andrexa aka Sara L. Russell, is a CD that takes poetry very comprehensively into 21st Century multimedia. It is a bravely pioneering collection of poetry recitals in video and audio, with much of the background midi music for the spooky "Dark Shadows" section written and sequenced by Sara, and with the titles created in spectacular animated lettering by Graham Ramsay in Australia.
This CD also features Sara's "Rogues Gallery", a collection of scans of her fantasy rock star paintings, also animations and royalty-free photographs from Holland, England and Ireland, for any use. We recomend "Pinky's Little Book Of Shadows" to anyone who knows Sara as Pinky and likes her work, also to anyone who likes electronic books for the DOS & WINDOWS based personal computer and is curious to experience poetry as a dramatic event.
About the Author
Sara L. Russell was born in Woking, England. She Grew up in Staines and was educated mainly in Surry, after her family moved first to Devon, then to a small village in Surry called Blindley Heath. It was her boredom in this small village (she has since moved on) which first drove her to draw cartoons - and begin to write poetry. "Poetry, to me, is sometimes hard work and sometimes instinctive, as with inspiration", says Sara.
"When it is inspired, it simply arrives in my head." Then, when it comes, you just go with it. Having said that, every poem will need careful re-drafting before it can be shown to other people. It is also important to read the classic poets." In recent years, the internet has become an essential part of Sara's poetry activities. After devising the light-hearted nickname in her newsgroup signature, "Pinky Andrexa, last of the Cyber Vixen Poets from Outer Space", she set up a webpage to showcase the work of other poets as well as her own. She then started a poetry ezine, which features interviews with both professional and amateur poets from the UK and the USA. Sara was also Delighted to win the January 1999 poetry competition with her poem "The Insomniac's Prayer" This poem is featured in the "Turn of the Century Award Winners Anthology" END
