Second Life by Karl Tearney
The demand for his style of writing has led to National and local Television as well as Radio. In 2018, he was a panellist at the Hay literature festival, helped with a Poetry workshop at RADA and also exhibited some of his work at the `Art in the Aftermath' Exhibition in Pall Mall. "His numerous poetic expressions of the impact of post traumatic stress disorder following his time as a pilot in the British Forces for over 35 years are a testimony to the passion, courage and selflessness of our servicemen and women." - David James Gandy "He is an exceptional man, writing poetry that is accessible to all, voicing the struggles as well as the beauty of our times and affirming to anyone the psychological healing powers of creativity." - Emma Willis MBE
`Karl Tearney writes from the heart and the gut, and he has both in abundanceDo read this, and feel humbled' - Charles Dance
As a newcomer to poetry and writing Karl has made quite an impact with his succinct and thought-provoking style. Encouraged by Emma Willis MBE after he'd sent her a thank you poem, Karl's work has been coveted by many. His work has included appearances at festivals and readings around the country. He is hugely passionate about encouraging other sufferers of mental issues to look toward the Arts as a means of therapy. He took part in the first Mayfair and St. James's Literary Festival launched in November 2018, during which Karl performed his poem `War not War', alongside Alicia Vikander and Felicity Kendall, as part of the Josephine Hart Poetry Hour - Poetry of the Great War in St. James's Church London, as well as being invited to read this powerful, short work on BBC Radio 3 during Remembrance week. BBC and Channel 4 News both covered Karl's work shown at the `Art in the Aftermath' exhibition in Pall Mall, London, featuring a wall covered in hundreds of his poems titled `The Writings on the Wall'. Response to his work and requests for a book were so overwhelming that he has decided to publish `Second Life', an insight into the healing power of poetry produced with such urgency by this extraordinary man. Karl writes a poem almost every day and has written over 700 since he came to words as his healing.
