Jade Kennedy (Goodreads Author)
'Silver Threads' is the first collection of poetry by Jade Kennedy, one of the most recent literary talents to emerge from the city of Hull. Like the 'white wild flower sprung up between the cracks' of her opening poem, Jade's poetic voice has its roots in urban reality, its attention fixed at the sky, and a considerable elegance of its own.

I picked up this volume of poetry one night after work, intending to just thumb through the offerings and see what the vibe was like; and then it was bedtime, and I had devoured the entire volume.
Suffering through this everlasting respiratory and sinus infection, I haven't been feeling the most clear-headed and focused.

Silver Threads is delightful. Kennedy's understanding of the English language shines in her poetry, which brims with subtle reflections on life and love. The poems are polished and crafted, with attention to vocabulary, rhythm and spacing. The accessibility of the poems, along with Kennedy's impressive grasp of the English language, makes Silver Threads truly a pleasure to read. I highly recommend this poetry collection.

Each poet’s idea of poetry, what it means to them, is always different, and what Jade Kennedy puts forth is a mesmerizing rendering of the English language that explores the utmost creativity of the art of writing.

This is a delightful collection of poems by a very talented writer. Kennedy's grasp of the English language is stunning as she weaves beautiful, evocative images in the space of a few short lines. These poems really captured my heart and mind and are definitely ones I could return to again and again, getting more out of them each time. If poetry is your thing, I can highly recommend checking out this collection.
This is a beautiful, completely unpretentious poetry collection be an up-and-coming british poet. If you're looking for a small book of poems that will make you both nostalgic and cheerful, Jade Kennedy's Silver Threads will deliver as promised.
