CBS Radio’s Benji Cole interviews Kenneth Jarrett Singleton, the author of “A Conceptual Circus”

Kenneth Jarrett Singleton, the author of “A Conceptual Circus,” was interviewed by CBS Radio’s Benji Cole. The interview is about the discussion of the message of the book as well as the author’s purpose for writing this masterpiece.

People of Distinction is one of the most wide-ranging radio shows in the United States, hosted by Benji Cole and Al Cole from CBS Radio. People of Distinction is the right fit for authors and readers to discover newly published books, mostly written by passionate and independent authors.

Benji Cole, the host of the program, is a world-class interviewer, video formulator, Los Angeles actor, and filmmaker. He’s shared the acting stage with superstar Tom Hanks.

“A Conceptual Circus” by Kenneth Jarrett Singleton is commended by Barbara Bamberger Scott of the US Review of Books, who highlights that “Singleton, who has written other poetic works along with plays and books, focuses in this latest aggregation on difference, discouragement, and the great distance and distress that can so often afflict one’s reality. He is never at a loss for words, some quite complex and a few invented, encompassing enjoyable rhymes. His powerful paean to “A Codependent Romance” reveals a scenario many may recognize—the frustrations and rewards of building a trusting relationship that ultimately, as he styles it, “could not have occurred in any greater form.” One suspects that Singleton’s works are meant to baffle and equally suggest solutions to many of life’s more distressing puzzles. He creates a circus constantly in motion, inviting readers to keep their perceptions in a heightened state so that nothing essential to life’s panorama will go unnoticed.”

Aside from that accolade, this masterpiece was also featured in the November issue of The New York Times Book Review (NYTBR), which is a weekly paper magazine supplement to the Sunday edition of The New York Times (an American daily newspaper with a worldwide readership reported in 2020 to be a growing 6 million paid digital subscribers). It is one of the most well-known and significant book reviews in the business.

A playwright, poet, and author, Kenneth Jarrett Singleton released five books before this collection of poems. His debut book, The Cadaver Factory, was a science fiction/horror book. When he was twenty years old, it was published in 2004. His debut play, Angelica and Francesca, and his second book, The Donner Society, were both released in 2005.
