opens in new window pinterest like loading older posts my name is candia its initial consonant alliterates with cow and there are connotations with the adjective candid i started writing this blog in the summer of 2012 and focused on satire at the start interspersed was ironic news comment reviews and poetry over the years i have won some international poetry competitions and have published in reputable small presses as well as reviewing and reading alongside well established poets i wrote under my own name then but candia has taken me over as an online persona having brought out a serious anthology last year called its own place which features poetry of an epiphanal nature i was able to take part in an arts and spirituality series of lectures in winchester in 2016 lately i have been experimenting with boussekusekeika sestinas rhyme royale villanelles and other forms i am exploring japanese themes at the moment my interest having been re ignited by the recent re evaluations of hokusai thank you to all my committed followers whose loyalty has encouraged me to keep writing it has been exciting to meet some of you in the flesh in venues as far flung as melbourne and sydney
