About the Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"978-1-62857-501-9-BFergusonCover\"Sense of Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sense of Words is my first book and it includes 21 poems. I have now written over 1,000 poems and I also have a children\u2019s book in the works.<\/p>\n

I was inspired to write this book because I have amnesia and bought a computer with writing pads and pens without knowing I had done so. After so many great reviews and constantly being asked to publish, I decided to go ahead with my book of poetry. Though I did not know why I was writing my poems, they still feel very personal.<\/p>\n

My thoughts are always looking into the distance and to faraway places. I write of romance, nature, childhood, and life in general.<\/p>\n

My poetry comes all of a sudden. I can see an object and build a poem around it. I have always been fascinated by words and science from a very early age, and always wrote about something without thinking about it.<\/p>\n

I do not dream, so perhaps my poems are from underlying dreams in my subconscious. I have been called a whispering poet, as my words seem to touch many people. Many say I am a born poet since I never studied poetry, yet there is so much emotion.<\/p>\n

When I Finally Get There\"Ferguson_Cover_Web\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I Finally Get There is my second book of poetry.
\nAll my words come from a place I cannot explain. But I do tend to think ahead and have always done so. As with my earlier book of poems, Sense of Words, I began writing after a near-fatal head injury in<\/p>\n

December 2011, which left me with amnesia for over four months. I began writing again in March 2012, and have not stopped since. Poems just come to me, and I can easily write eight in an afternoon. My thoughts are always looking into the distance and to faraway places.<\/p>\n

I won top prize for poetry from Scotland\u2019s best-selling newspaper when I was ten years old, but didn\u2019t begin writing again until after my head injury. I write about romance, love, nature, childhood, and life in general.<\/p>\n

Many say I am a born poet since I never studied poetry.<\/p>\n
