Things We Don’t Discuss ~ my review

Hi All!

I recently shared with you that Maciej at No Kind of Magic had released a collection of poetry.  I have had his book in my possession for some time now and have had time to read, re-read and immerse myself in his words. 

I posted a brief review on Amazon and wish to share it here as well. 

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, provocative and penetrating poetry

55 poems that act as a dark, fun-house mirror reflecting back versions of your own pain as well as universal truths.

If you are looking for pretty, flowery poems of nature and romance–trust me, this will not be your cup of tea. BUT, there is truth here and there is beauty in that. Some may find the poems within a bit jarring and indeed this collection requires a steady eye. I found myself reading and rereading lines to gain an even deeper understanding, at times nodding in agreement and other times weeping.

This poet has skillfully flayed his own hide, leaving his insides exposed and vulnerable. I’m left wanting to cradle his trampled, yet still beating, heart gently in my hands.

Death and Life ~ a friend’s debut

Hi All!

Do you know/follow Bianca / B.G.Bowers?  If not get on that!

Bianca is not only one of my Featured Friends,  but we have also collaborated on a couple poems you may have read here.  

More importantly,  I count her as a true friend even though I haven’t yet met her face to face. 🙂 One day I’ll make it to Oz:)

Bianca is a fabulous person with a lovely soul and her words will move you as they move me.   Please help make her debut book a success!

OFFICIALLY AN AUTHOR

February 22, 2014 · by  ·

Hi everyone,

I’m very pleased to announce the publication of my first poetry book, Death and Life.

death-and-life-bg-bowers

This is a huge milestone for me and I owe you all, my WordPress Community, a massive thanks for all of your support and engagement since the inception of my blog in May 2013.

Here are the links:

➤ The print copy is available on Amazon via http://bit.ly/1bvLokE

➤ The Kindle version is available via http://amzn.to/1l80VKY

And, here’s a reminder of what the book is about:

In Death and Life, B.G. Bowers examines an eclectic life journey, masterfully illustrating various psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences through poetry and essays. Death is not isolated to physical loss, but encompasses figurative deaths arising from innocence lost, depression, unfulfilled dreams, lost love, exile, spiritual death and rejection of childhood paradigms. Fortunately, these mini-deaths present opportunity for growth, evolution and renewal. That is to say, from death comes life.

Happy Weekend,

Bianca xoxo

So, go forth and support this wonderful writer!  

Buy it.  

Read it.

Share it.
