The stories are quite interesting and will have you not want to put the book down.

Even so, there are plenty of stories written in English for you to enjoy so don't stop yourself from getting the book because it has some French pieces in it. 

The personal quotes, all written in English, are beautiful, inspirational and leave a lasting impression on the reader. There is definitely some food for thought in what he writes.

Wandering Wounds by James L. Finley

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.

To Be Me by Michael James Kaiser

To Be Me by Michael James Kaiser

To Be Me is Michael James Kaiser's debut poetry book, released in June of 2015. The book features Michael's poetic creations that are of course drawn from his personal experiences and hence the title chosen for the book seems a perfect fit. 

Doodles on napkins can in turn morph into poetic masterpieces and I think that is the case with Michael's creations.    

Each poem in the book is beautifully crafted and has just the right amount of emotion to tug at your heartstrings without being overwhelming.

Whatever poem you read you will find yourself drawn in, whether it'd be by its emotion or by the story it tells that will connect with you in some way. 

The flow of some of the pieces in the book is melodic and will probably make you want to take out your acoustic guitar or maybe a piano or keyboard and sing and play. And even if you don't play these instruments you may still be tempted to sing the words. 

Perhaps these melodic pieces are actual future hits. Perhaps we will come across videos on YouTube of someone playing the guitar, singing Michael's poems. Maybe it will even be Michael himself. You never know.   

If you want to peek inside the book and perhaps even purchase a copy you can find the book right here: To Be Me on Amazon.
