Isabel Galleymore
Volume 4 Issue 16 April 2008
Featured in The Name of the
Poet Section of the Magazine
Isabel Galleymore is not
just a poet but one of the most original, most talented, most
exuberant and most essential young poet writing today in the UK who
belongs to a generation who will define our time and their
contributions to not only English poetry but world poetry and
literature in a fundamental way will define this century. These poets, like Isabel, speak of
the necessity for English poetry to be broken into pieces and
reshaped and recrafted again.
Isabel writes poetry as a
necessity which breaks the language and reshapes it to suit her
soul's immense desire to sing and unfold a landscape that does not exist yet
very much wants to be a reality bringing the tide of her dreams into
the heart of the dead city where life limps in dead stares of bricks
and mortars burying our hearts into self-absorbed oblivion and
thus she wants to proclaim the living ocean over its shadows and the
shapes singing songs that English poetry has never heard before.
Isabel writes a poetry
that comes from her being and her existence defines itself through
her words that are out of this world. She writes for she responds to
that necessity of being where one will walk to the end of the world
for just to be able to cease the moment, the instance, the breath so
to make it rise to stamp one's elemental joys of being alive.
Isabel is a joy to read.

Poets' Letter is a living
thing, a community thing and a wonder thing: together. And it is an English
thing, a British thing, a European thing as well as a Humanity thing since
we are the Humanion peopling this small Planet in this sun-sunk, moon-lit,
motion-mounted, space-bloomed place, Sunnara, in the province of Milky Way
Galaxy that belongs to an Infinite Country: The Universe. Welcome onboard
this platform of Universal Humanion. Nothing is built without toils and one
cannot claim that one has built something until one has toiled for it
with a faith, a conviction and with the power of one's dreams! We are trying
to build something at Poets' Letter: all you can do is be a part of it: rain
in your support, bring in your wind and seasons, soil in your faith and
conviction and let us build together something deeper than ourselves and
bigger than the corporations and their offspring: money! Poets' Letter is a
name, it is not a business, it is not a bank, it is definitely not a brand
or corporation. It is a means to create a platform for new and young
writers/poets/artists/thinkers/creative people and offer a way to take their
voices to the world and to have an impact in this branded world where our
values and prices go up and down depending on what big brand has accepted
us.
