Book Review: Shh Purely Poetry #bookreview #poetry #indievisible #indievisibleevents #indiebookbanter

Delighted with this lovely review for my latest poetry collection via my participation in the Indie Visible Spring Spectacular.

Indie Book Banter’s Review:

Firstly thank you to the author for allowing us to sample the delights of poetry for FREE during the Indie Author Spring Spectacular.

I am currently dipping in and out of this beautiful collection in between tasting the words of so many other new to me indies.

The following teaser is from my favourite poem so far.

Love Hidden InThe Margins

if i were a poem

i’d grace a beautiful notebook

its cover bright sunflowers

inside a ray of sunshine.

beautiful calligraphy to highlight

tiny ink splodges to add character

tear drops to remind me of sad days

poems of sunshine and sadness

grief and joy.

life and loves.

A collection I would recommend 🌹📖

Blurb

A compilation of sensual, love and relationship poems. Quirky, unusual and evocative.

Shh, Purely Poetry is a collection of poetic pieces about love, sensuality and relationships with sections entitled: love as fuel, (food and coffee love,) the summer and winter of love, strangers in love, quirky aspects and nature as sensuality.

Inspired in part by daily prompt poems written for the 365poetrypromptchallenge, observations of places, people and my travels.

Review

A loving collection of poetry that delicately weaves in relationships at many stages. Many are sensual, full of texture and images, and some offer unique takes on human interaction. Here are a few beautiful passages: “The Sweetness/The longing/Each kiss deeper/different and the same/Like I belonged to more than him/Like I belonged to the poetry.”؅—Dining on Poetry, “…beautiful calligraphy to highlight/tiny ink splodges to add character/tear drops to remind me of sad days.”—Love Hidden In the Margin, and “She is fair and I am dark/Slight and I am robust/We fill our together/completing our silhouettes.”—Silhouettes. “Shh, Purely Poetry” is meant to be savored more than once by lovers of sensuous and thoughtful poems.

 

Sunday Book Review – Shh, Purely Poetry: Sensual, Love and Relationship Poems by M J Mallon @Pokercubster

Thank you so much to D G Kaye for sharing her excellent review of my new book of poetry.

Her 5 Star Review:

Mallon has created this volume of poems inspired by daily writing prompts and her observations and interpretations of the people and places she’s seen in her travels. She uses various poetic styles to showcase her thoughts in prose and poetry, including free-verse poetry for her longer pieces, which resonate with me most.

The sections are broken down into appropriate categories of poems. Many of the poems in the first section are written with food and drink as subject matter, with underlying tones of sensuality. Some of the poems also touch on holiday themes, love and discovery, love and loss, strangers, forgiveness, war, and nature. Much of the poetry is evoked with intimate and imaginative stirring of sensual images and others being quirky tales – as well as some with explicit sexual connotations. And an interesting spin I found with some of Mallon’s poems, that some were written from the male perspective.

I quite enjoyed this interesting twist on poetry story-telling, something very different than Mallon’s previous poetry. Here is a sampling:

Silhouettes

She is fair and I am dark.

Slight and I am robust.

.

We fill out together.

Completing our silhouettes.

.

As we explore each other.

Strangers a moment ago.

.

Now lost, unable to fade away.

.

Because we kissed the deepness

of each other’s shadows and stayed.

.

If you enjoy poetry that tantalizes and stimulates, you will no doubts enjoy Mallon’s poetry.

Early Book Review & Feature Shh, Purely Poetry #thankyou #review #poetry @RichardDockett

Thank you so much to Richard Dee for this early book review and feature for my latest release due out 2nd June.

REVIEW

Well, where do I start?The author paints a picture in every poem, cleverly intermixing themes and providing a running commentary on aspects of love as part of life.With sections called LOVE IS FUEL, THE SUMMER & WINTER OF LOVE, LOST LOVE/DISCOVERING LOVE, LOVE, LIFE, WAR & FORGIVENESS, STRANGERS IN LOVE, QUIRKY! and SENSUAL SIGHS, there really is something for every mood, every stage of love, seduction and sensuality.The wordplay is deft and draws on powerful imagery, like this, from Breakfast Nibbles,Avocado spread on toast,Like her bikini, green, shiny,lush,Skimpy but oh so satisfying!or this, from Punk Music Babe,bold eyes blink in shadows,saucy salmon pink arch of eyebrows,her unrealluscious lookexcites me.There are so many other great examples, but I can’t show them all. Get a copy, you won’t be disappointed.This volume is recommended for anyone who likes to be taken on an exploration of the beauty, joy and exhilaration that can be found in relationships.
