Just a quick post to say, you can check out my new author website at: http://www.johnsawatts.com

And if you sign up to my news letter you’ll receive a free satirical narrative poem (Inscitia), about an inept university student sold into the dubious philosophy of, ‘you have your own truth,’ it’s a decent length poem 40 odd pages long and hopefully an amusing read for you.

Anyway the website is to promote, primarily, my upcoming ‘Poetry Bible’– it will be released in volumes, perhaps there will be 10-12 in total as I am planning on covering the entire Biblical corpus, which is quite the undertaking as you can imagine.

The first volume is complete (featuring Cain & Abel, Joseph, the Passion, Ruth, Judith, Esther, and Tobit) although it isn’t yet available. I am waiting to hear back from publishers and agents to see if I will have any luck in that regard, but it is likely I will have to self publish it. If you do sign up to my news letter many thanks and I will update you when I am planning to release the book.

I should say my project, the Poetry Bible, has the goal of converting the Biblical stories into dramatic works of verse that have a universal appeal and are roughly the length of a short epic (1-2k lines) or a verse play, even if one isn’t a believer, they are still meant as works that anyone can enjoy, and hopefully invite you to think about these stories in a fresh and exciting way. Of course if you are a believer, I really hope these could be some edifying works for you.
