Welcome to waxpoetryart.com – the website for people who love poetry, art, photography, fiction, and plays.
waxpoetryart.com is an independent publication that is 100% artist run. Specifically by one artist, the poet, Kirk Ramdath – me.
I am not a critic. I'm a fan.
I appreciate a wide variety of work,
and my publishing record reflects that.
All over the world, individuals and communities are honing their artistic craft and bringing new writing, art, and photography into the world. Some are new to their artistic craft; some are seasoned. Some are celebrated; some are unknown.
waxpoetryart.com strives to represent a slice of that vast and beautiful pie.
We are disciples to our chosen disciplines.
The battle with our art is with ourselves,
to carve as much beauty out of this world as we can with these bare hands –
because
We
Are
Artists.
Our love for art unites us.
waxpoetryart.com is proud to be a space that showcases serious artists from all walks of life and all disciplines.
All artists. All styles.
Published, edited, and designed by Kirk Ramdath in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. Send questions or comments by email to info@waxpoetryart.com. See publications and opportunities on the Home page.
