Poetry
Step into a world where words dance, emotions sing, and metaphors take flight—welcome to our Poetry Book Reviews, where every line is a brushstroke of whimsy painting the canvas of the heart.
- Slam Poems for my Bathroom Mirror…And Other Selected Works… by Chris Courtney Martin
Although blunt and brutal, the poetry collection provides an interesting read on an array of topics. I appreciated the frankness, and like that it conveyed the same mood throughout. - Dancing with the Moon: Poems of the Heart by Steven Davison
In his work, Steven Davison explores the delights of falling in love and creating intimacy. The work then takes a turn to look at the flip side of love when it starts to unravel and fall apart. - The Phoenix Tapes by Nelle J
Presented like an eighty’s mixtape, Nelle J gives us The Phoenix Tapes, complete with a Side A and a Side B. Starting with a fiery journey through love, lust, empowerment, triumph, and faith,’ Nelle J takes us on a feisty, upbeat, passionate journey. - The Beautiful Ugliness of Being by Joe Maldonado
I appreciated the references to Back to the Future, the thoughts shared about stepping away from poetry, and the eventual persistence for the poet to continue to display their art. - Finding Her Being Her: A Journey of Poems by Nilam Patel
Whilst this book is marketed towards women, fathers, brothers, sons, boyfriends, husbands, pick up this book. As a female (used in the loosest sense), we know of our struggles and this book tells us that we are not alone with them. - Simply Gone by Jeffrey T. Diamond
Recognizing some of the pangs of first/unrequited love, it was like a journey through one’s own past. - Destruction in Love by Elizabeth Weseloh
Recognizing some of the pangs of first/unrequited love, it was like a journey through one’s own past. - Nursery Rhymes for the Illegitimate – Volume One by Niels Khan
An explosion of bitter, vile, stark realities that make for tough reading. In many ways the lyrics bring to mind Eminem in his early days - Uncouth by Kevin B. Ploth
A little on the limp side, resulting in an experience related more to losing one’s virginity than orgasmic pleasure. Explicit acts described in a sedate way.
