Stop Press!

15 September, 2023

I’m launching my fourth poetry collection, Vampirical Verse, on 15th November 2023. It’s available for pre-order now at Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, Smashwords, Nook and other online stores.

“They (the poems) are straight from the heart, soul and gut. They are never trite, never overblown  but wonderfully, articulate and rich in imagery.” S Moore

Vampirical Verse reflects the emotional, mental and spiritual fallout from cancer. These poems are an attempt by Freya Pickard to express the inexpressible.

(STOP PRESS is a new kind of post that I will be publishing as and when there is a need for it. If you have had at least one haiku published here at Pure Haiku since 2010 and have a poetry collection that is authored completely by you (sorry, no anthologies by multiple authors) that has either been published since 1st September 2023 or is going to be published before 31st December 2023, send me an email at purehaiku@gmail.com BEFORE 1st November 2023, and I will mention it in a post here on 15th November. You’ll need to send me your full name, the title of your collection and a direct purchase link (no bitlys etc!))
