The "Madman" has some unusual ideas and writes about 'em very well...review by W. Bonkosky
I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far it's been excellent. He author has an unusual sense of humanity that's educational, insightful, and yet entertaining.
You are very likely to be glad you bought it; I know I am.
Moving....review by Cricket
Well written, moving piece of art. A great find and well worth the read. Awesome author with an amazing ability.
Prolific, thought provoking and many easy to identify with....review by trauern
I was never a soldier, but I can only imagine that many of these poems paint pictures that most of our men and women warriors can identify with. Don't get me wrong, this is not just a collection of poems from military recollections and experiences, but a sharing of 20+ years of poetry ranging from stories about school games like King'ers; a fantastic visual journey through a neighbourhood children's' game, to Grandfather Old Man; a wonderful tribute to a loved one who has "passed on" and the question many of us as survivors have asked secretly in our own heart and mind; "Can you reach me to teach me what it's like to die?". This is a collection of poems that are worth pausing for. It will challenge you to go to places that are difficult and it will invite you to explore feelings most of us wish to avoid. You will be the richer for it.
Challenge your mind!...review by dragoneevee
Thought provoking...Take the time to enjoy each and every "story". In my own opinion, when someone takes the time to share personal experiences, and views on life, how can we not be attentive?
