Product Description

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

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful display of talent and wit., November 18, 1999

By	Joyce Tres (California) - See all my reviews

Pinky's Little Book of Shadows is a wonderful Cornucopia of poetic wit, artistic display, and musical talent in multimedia fashion. Pinky Andrexa aka Sara L. Russell is a refreshing talent her poetry shows a wide range of subject material and is unmistakably original. Sara's Video Recitals are done with the dramatic flare of a performance arist as in "Sonnet to a Salesman" recited by Sara dressed in Tudor Queen garb, and the first part of "Sheep in Drag From Outer Space" recited in a "Hip-hop" rap style. Sara's Audio Recitals equally evoke the spirit of her poetry. Rogues Gallery Sara's collection of fantasy rock star paintings with my personal favorite "Space Virgin" Madonna steering her career to planet success shows that Sara is an accomplished artist as well. If you love poetry Pinky's Little Book of Shadows is a worthy addition to your collection, and if you love music or art the same holds true for you.
