| Wandering Wounds by James L. Finley |
Wandering Wounds is a debut poetry book written by James L. Finley. The book covers a range of important issues that we come across at some point in our lives, whether personally or by witnessing others we know. Things that this talented poet writes about include alcoholism, addiction, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and illness. Mixed in with that are poems about heartbreak and love, relationships and the trials we face in life.
James L. Finley is not only able to affect us with his words but he also leaves us with some food for thought. His poetry makes us feel a great deal but it doesn't overwhelm us at all.
Some poets just write free-verse poetry because it is the easiest thing to do. James L. Finley doesn't do that. Among his free-verse poems are also poems written in different poetic styles, some we may not have even heard of before. Each one seems as if it was effortless for him to write. Whether or not it actually was we will never know but it doesn't matter. All that matters is the poems themselves, how they affect us, and what they mean to us.
If you love poetry and love to read something of value that tackles important issues in today's society perhaps this is the book for you. To preview the book and perhaps get a copy for yourself visit Wandering Wounds on Amazon.
I happen to own a copy of this book. James L. Finley is definitely a poet to watch out for in my opinion. He is immensely talented and his poetry book showcases that. I loved the book from start to finish. Hope he writes and publishes more poetry books in the future.
