Amy Winehouse now writing a book of poems

Troubled R 'n' B star Amy Winehouse is writing a book of poems.

According to reports, the 'Back To Black' hitmaker, who is unwinding on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, is busy penning poems about her troubled life and chaotic relationship with her estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

"Amy's been stimulated since living in St Lucia. She loves the chilled-out Caribbean atmosphere and has found it has encouraged her to write again," Contactmusic quoted a source as saying.

"Pete Doherty once told her that poetry was a good way to express yourself, so she thought writing a book of poems about her life would be a fine start," the source added.
