    About this ebook

    Empty Pages is the second poetry collection published by Franklin Ovie Ejemutah. It contains fifty poems in five sections. The poems reflect the writer's block, pain, anger, depression, love, friendship and faith.

    Unlike the first collection, I made an effort to reduce the length of the poems - trying to say as much as I can with as few words as possible. So you will find the poems are mainly sixteen or twenty lines with only a few going beyond that.

    Why Empty Pages? It does seem to be an intriguing book title, doesn't it? And also, it reminds me that I often found myself staring down an empty page while trying to write a poem. In trying to improve my style and contents - and avoid criticism, I often discarded lines that looked boring,cheesy or cliched.

    The result is a book written to impress readers while maintaining a sincere portrayal of the feelings that are reflected in each poem.

    Franklin Ovie Ejemutah

    Poet? Maybe... Franklin Ovie Ejemutah has neither entered nor won a poetry contest. He has not been published in any literary journal or studied any creative writing course. He sees himself as a guy who is 'writing about everything he sees before him'. (Lukas Graham's 7 Years lyrics) As the quote shows, Franklin is heavily influenced by music especially songs by artistes such as 3 Doors Down, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Coldplay, Nickelback, Tim McGraw etc. He began his own writing in his early twenties initially as a means of coping with the realisation that it is a one-way trip from childhood to adulthood. Since then he has completed two poetry collections, A Poet's Path and Empty Pages, with a third, Faded Glory, in the works. When he is not writing, Franklin is occupied with his day job in Instrumentation Engineering. He also engages in the public service work of enlightening people with spiritual and moral values.
