• 30 Poems, 30 Days: Inside a Poet's Mind on Jan. 03, 2012
  
  Date: October 21, 2011 Title: 30 Poems, 30 Days: Inside a Poets Mind Author: A.D. Joyce ISBN 13: Electronic ARC Pages: 46 Publisher: Unknown Cover: E-book Reviewer: Gregory W. Bryant – Literary Wonders! Rating: 4 Stars Author, A.D. Joyce has created an innovative take on poetry month. Her strategy of composing a poem a day into book form is very interesting. Author Joyce shows versatility in different styles of poetry, particularly Japanese forms of Haiku and Tanka. I am now familiar with the poetic form of Fib and Cinquains. She gives a definition of each form as well as her motivation for writing the piece, which I truly found informative. She has a multitude of forms from Sonnets to free verse. I especially liked the poem Incomplete Sonnet. There Is something for everyone in this book. I truly recommend this as a good read. Good luck to you author A.D. Joyce and thank you for taking the reader on a poetic journey.
