Description
Jude Neale’s latest collection of poetry, Impromptu, grew from an International Poetry Month challenge that required the writer to respond to a daily prompt, creating a poem each day for one month. The resulting selections were so compelling that Jude continued past the 30-day limit with prompts of her own, producing in 47 days a book that is fresh, insightful, and vital, venturing far beyond what initially started as a simple writing exercise. This volume is a 21st Century exploration of the infinite mystery of love and light, taking the reader on a journey encompassing surrealism, sonnets, haiku, and many other poetic forms. It was a labour of deep inspiration, that will hopefully nudge other writers to forge new paths in their creative endeavors. Like Jude’s five previous books, this volume was written solely on her iPhone.

Editorial Reviews
Jude Neale makes nimble mockery of the harsh aphorism that teachers teach because they cannot do. In this clever and stylish collection of Impromptu verses, she’s conjured a set of poems that pleases the spirit and prompts the questing imagination.
~ Nick Bantock, author of the popular Griffin and Sabine book series
