Book Review........The Antigone Poems
This book is right up my street. The words express so much and the art work though terrifying is also endearing. You can't take your eyes off them. This book is chilling but at the same time calming. Its relatable though your not sure why. I loved it.
The poems are powerful, and you get a real sense of horror and terror and some left you feeling quite bleak then, POW! There a beautiful yet undertone of sad picture and it brings you back. You sense the Greek tragedy throughout this book.
I was in awe of the skill involved in some of these verses. I loved in exile. It was short and yet the range in my feeling when I read that poem. Just read it and you will know what I mean.
The book itself it set out perfectly. If you are new to poetry then please give this book a go, cause its not overwhelming and yet still special.
Read it in the dark if your dare.
Avalible on Amazon.....Antigone Poems

Next Book if you want to read along
My next book Starting in TWO days Is going to be (Drum roll)
Operation: Blackflag!!!!!!
I'm so excited for this one. Its right up my street. find it by clicking..... here
This is the description:
Citizen, have you seen the black and yellow menace? They may have already infiltrated your workplace, your school or EVEN YOUR HOME! I'm talking about wasps. WASPS OF THE MUTANT AND MAN-EATING VARIETY! They hate you, they hate me and they hate America. Has a wasp stung you or someone you love for no reason at all? Well that was probably just a regular wasp. They do that. Was the wasp THE SIZE OF A TRUCK at the time? Then you encountered a mutant wasp! Perhaps a coworker has recently called in sick with a case of BEING PARALYZED AND THEN EATEN ALIVE FROM THE INSIDE OUT BY WASP OFFSPRING. This may be a sign he chanced upon a mutant wasp! Be vigilant! If you see one, SPEAK UP! The Army is standing by, ready to kill on contact and keep on killing—even though this whole mutant wasp business was DEFINITELY AND TOTALLY NOT OUR FAULT. Together we can squish this threat.
Oh come on, I can tell you want to read this too.
Come read with me.

Inside a String review
The book was very daunting at first, I find with most books and poems with the beat style its hard at first till you get the rhythm of the book. And this book, all I can say is wow.
This book really captured the feel of the beat generation, you could really get a sense of Toms turmoil, you can feel hes highs and lows within each word. This book is so powerful and it really meant a lot to me. Even though you could see the influence of Kerouac and Hemingway, Tom really has made this hes own.
My favourite poem was Nature's Narcissism, It just really overcame me. I felt every word. It was like magic words being said to me on the page. But Love Revealed and Climb are also very good ones to look out for.
Overall.....This book.....This book could change a life. Yes it was hard to start with but once that rhythm sets in, and it doesn't take long to find it, I really enjoyed it. It really gets you thinking and the words have so much dept.
The book is more then a book its a treasure, and this book is for you.

Such great news. I have signed up to netgalley.com and will be doing reviews for them. So keep your eyes peeled for some new book reviews. I hope you like them.
By doing this I promise to be as honest as I can. It will be based fully on my opinion and where I am not a professional book reviewer (as such, lol kidding, I meant yet) they will almost sound like something your best friend will tell you about.
So hold on sit tight and wait with the up most anticipation for my book reviews. Until then you don't you check out my story blogs or my thoughts blog. Up to you, you haven't got to, just thought that was the ultimate set up for self promoting.
Stay true to you
