Smashwords book reviews by Cyn Bagley

  • From Negril, With Love on April 28, 2011
    star star star star
    This short story touched upon women's little sadnesses: marriage, sex, birth, death, and divorce. It explores how these disappointments can hurt a relationship. But, even at the end, there is hope that a newly singled woman can find love. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it is a little rough in places. However, I would read this story again more slowly. There is a lot of truth here.
  • Daddy, Then on April 28, 2011
    star star star star star
    This poem is so powerful. When the poem starts with a little girl holding her daddy's hand, I had a flashback to my childhood when I went every where with my daddy. I also used to sit on the toilet and watch my dad shave his face. It was an honor and a privilege to watch this routine. These following words: An aging rift remains undefined unlike muscular arms Catching your horse shit from reluctant distance. --hit me pretty hard. I am also watching my father age. We haven't talked in almost two decades. And as I see him gray and age, he seems to be farther away from me spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. And the last stanzas summed up the entire poem. Bye daddy.
