Book Review:

Professional Book review by Writers Digest

I am impressed with the whole production of this book. The cover is intriguing and well designed, the title is eye catching and in keeping with the theme of the book, the layout is professional ... and the poetry and artwork is wonderful. I like the way the book is sectioned off, with biographical information for each poet at the beginning of each (chapter), and I also like the layout of table of contents and art indexes.

I like the collaborative effort - it is not easy to combine voices or visions, but these poets and artists do extremely well. This is a collection of which all contributors should be proud.

The collection of art in this book is worth the price of admission, but to have the absorbing and introspective poetry along with it is icing on the readers cake.

I will not go into critiques of the individual poems here - they are too many and varied - but the poetic voices implict in all of this work are compelling and powerful. These poets should be heard.

I would suggest contacting local writer's groups and workshops to share and work on presentation of this poetry. My Hearty congratulations on this production and my fervent urging to keep writing and working with your voices and visions.
