Book Cover
Hello! I'm Ladee Basset
Thank you for visiting my website. My poetry book entitled "The Journey Home" by Ladee Basset has just been launched. It is a collection of 100 poems all written in the traditional style of poetry, that of rhyme and time. If you are a poetry lover then you will love this book!
My first poetic submission for an anthology was accepted and published in 1997 entitled "Time is Not A Barrier". It was read later in the same year on several different radio stations to include BBC radio 2, live from Althorpe, as it was found to suit the moment the week of Princess Diana's mourning. Of course, this poem is featured within the book
The poem entitled "Mr Blair" was acknowledged by 10 Downing street in 2004 and is included in this book. I have had several poems published in anthologies over the years to include Anchor Books and Dogma Press. The poem entitled "D-Day Celebrations" was in a poetry anthology presented to Her Majesty The Queen in honour of her 80th birthday and yes, this poem is included in this book.
The cover of this book is extremely unique for poetry! This cover was directly inspired as a result of my High School mascot being the Trojan, my great love of Roman history, and the fighting spirit within me.
Poetry is enjoyed by so many, those of all ages and all backgrounds. Each of the poems have a beginning, a middle and an ending. It is with great pleasure and pride that I have now been able to compile this collection of poems that are all my very own. This accomplishment fulfills one of my life long ambitions.
There is something for everyone within this book as all of the poems are written truly from the heart, from love poetry, to pet poetry and to historical poetry. I guarantee you will love this book!
