Smashwords book reviews by fred garvin

    I have to respectfully disagree with the other review. I wasn't really distracted by lack of punctuation. I see poetry as a little more fluid, symbolic, and metaphorical that doesn't require the degree of punctuation that other genres require. I see the biblical significance of using the acrostic format, and here it is done in a unique and refreshing way. To me each work had a cohesive message that I admired and found inspiring. I added it to my library. Well done!

    There is definitely some dark imagery used here. I see a lot of pain, anguish,and anxiety in much of the work. The author has definitely battled some inner demons. Very provocative and compelling. I had a hard time putting it down. You can also see a progression of thought and experiences through the three works published on here by the author.
