Shane Koyczan

Published by Carsten Knoch under books, poetry

This guy is awesome. He’s the most inspiring poet I’ve read/heard in a long time. I don’t follow poetry much anymore. I used to write it and now I think I want to, again.

Shane’s first book is also incredible - I find that his performances are often very fast (though he also has great ‘flow’ to use that hip hop term, so they’re a joy to listen to or watch) and having the book helps me appreciate the words.

World Food Café cookbook

Published by Carsten Knoch under books, food, recipes, vegetarian

This is highly recommended. Great food and amazing pictures. For those who, like me, enjoy their cookbooks well illustrated, this is definitely worth buying.
