I like A's use of photography to point up his words. An evocative image helps the imagination kick in. Now, if he would just tell us what "A" stands for.

I first came across English August,while browsing over some random blogs.It struck me though that neither were his words random nor was he.
I had read few of his comments ,before I finally got to his blog.The whole 55 words poetry is what really caught my fancy.It was my introduction to profound use of simple words.I have seen him encourage other writers.And needless to say,they have all come up with fantastic expressions as well.
Reading his work,his ideas,have been inspirational.I have tried my first attempts at poetry.Some thing I never thought I could.It isn't important to me,what class or calibre I have.What is important is that I have made an attempt.That has been a huge achievement for me and I owe it to blogs like those of English August.
I enjoy his style of writing.There is a magnificent use of simple words,expressing complexities of life.I don't know if he comes up with such beautiful poetry because of personal pain or that is his artistic excellence.But I have been very touched by his words.
Thank-you Nasra, for providing this platform to express my feelings.My congratulations to English August, for achieving such excellence and for taking the whole blogging concept to another level.

I am so happy to see that someone has publicly recognized the talent that .:A:. has with words and photography.
What he creates is always well worth, not only the time you spend reading, but the time you spend thinking afterward. His posts always leave me (and others as well apparently) feeling pensive, introspective, and inspired.
Congratulations .:A:.

When I first chanced upon English August a couple of months ago, I felt, "Uups, another wannabe". I couldn't have been wronger than that.
Poetry is an expression of the self and its true purpose (as said by one of the greatest poets, Donne, is to delight. So there is something intensely personal and delightful about the poetry I read at English August. It touches a chord, reminds me of things as they were or may have been or have never been for me. And yet, even when I don't find the personal connect, I am always assured to a technically flawless poem.
And for this chance to say all this, I thank Nasra. (But I wouldn't be so sure of the poet's gender!)

We all read his blog, we all are drawn to his restless insights. This tribute is perhaps the way to tell him thanks for all the good he has shared.

.:A:. is a master of the suspended moment -- those brief periods in time when everything slows down and then (for an instant) stops, giving rise to a brief, but profound, moment of clarity.
His simple, elegant style both reflects this quality and brings it about.
His work can take you to new places in your mind. But, they often seem quietly familiar, due to the clarity and simplicity of his writing.
One might be tempted to associate this ability with some kind of gnostic revelation, because of its ability to impact and provide clarity. No doubt, .:A:.'s work is inspired. But my guess is that it is .:A:.'s subtle, humanistic observations of the "small" moments of this world, combined with a craftsmanship that knows the value of clarity and elegance, that brings this about.
Thanks again, .:A:., for sharing all of your work.

A always combines his unique vision with beautiful pictures often these sit in your mind and bring back his words

Everyone's already said it all. I am happy to know that A's been featured in here: he's one of my favorite blogging poets. Surreal yet so real, that he is.

I got this e-mail and I want to share here:
Hi!
I came across your blog today and was quite glad to have found it. Well, poetry happens to be one of my interests as well. I write a blog at http://vidyanjali.blogspot.com. It'd be nice if you could care to visit it sometime.
And those interviews which you have put up are very honest, simple and straight (which is why I like them!).
Hope to hear from you soon,
Regards,
Vidya.
