      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      Contexting My Life - Anthony N. Pittsabe

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Anthony is the poet and author of this autobiographical book of memoir poems Contexting My Life. He has been writing most of his life but never had the courage to publish any of his works until now. To boost his confidence he spent  six years studying English. During this time he created a style of cross-cultural poetry that he feels is his own. Emigrating to the UK from the Caribbean at the tender age of forty, he has used the pandemic lockdown in a quiet English village as a time to reflect on his life. This resulted in this body of work some of which was written as a teenager. His upcoming children’s books My Mia and the Lost Voice, My Mia and the Wonderful Spots, and My Mia and the New best Friend will be soon be available. Most embarrassing moment ... accidentally splashing a love interest with his car as he tried to wave to her on a rainy day.

      "Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in

      your heart." ― Roy T. Bennett
