A new edition of the successful debut poetry book from platinum ARIA accredited artist Ziggy Alberts, brainwaves - the photo edition, explores life's experiences and emotions, inwards and out. Deeply personal, frank, insightful, yet relatable, Alberts uncovers his introspective thoughts and lessons learned in conscious and intentional living. In this edition, readers can discover Alberts’ love of film photography with photos spread throughout the book - deepening the reader's connection with the words through imagery. Divided into 4 chapters, each poem entices the next train of thought. Alberts masterfully draws observations of the natural environment to paint his experience of introspective moments. He contemplates modern-day dilemmas, timeless topics of purpose, trust, stillness, and love. “Brainwaves is a polite request – an invitation into a vulnerable relationship between the writer and the reader it is an ode to word of mouth, to paper pages, to hard copies handed to strangers shared with lovers, kept with family, to taking chances on books without knowing the entirety of its contents first, to do and practice just that of which we do so little of today with books and relationships alike. Brainwaves was not made for the internet – it was made for you.” - Ziggy Alberts.
About the author: human being
Note from the author: Writing poetry had nothing to do with publishing it. Writing poetry is what music was for me at the very beginning: an outpour. No plan, entirely personal. Poetry is another thoughtfully independent direction that was made possible by my family at Commonfolk Publishing. Looking forward to connecting with you all for the first time, and again.
Ziggy Alberts is an independent singer-songwriter with a worldwide, grassroots following. Platinum ARIA accredited artist with over 1.5 million monthly listeners and his music having received attention from Billboard magazine, triple j, Rolling Stone France and Clash UK. Alberts continues to branch into the written median, pairing this latest release of brainwaves with his love of film photography to deepen the connection with the words.
His music and public figure alike are loved for the authenticity, vibrancy and relatability. Alberts' honest approach to his writing and stage presence is the core of his success. This mindset is how he fortuitously branched into poetry and now the photo edition.
Publicity:
* Planned digital marketing spend for the announcement of the book.
* The announcement of 'brainwaves-photo edition' has strategically occurred in the height of Alberts' single release period which has a global focused marketing campaign.
* The photo edition is tied into Alberts’ searching for freedom album by subtly showcasing the same illustration on the front cover as seen on the album cover and the same as the debut poetry book release.
