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

Review: Shh Purely Poetry #Poetry #Review @nnp_w_light

Delighted with the boost of this 5+ star review from blue tick influencer, N. N. LIGHT.

A sensual poetry collection sure to entice your mind, body and soul. In this exquisite collection, the author writes emotive poems with the themes of love, romance, and relationships. Each poem is expressive, sensual, and the reader gets to experience falling in love.

 

The imagery reflected in this collection is remarkable. Each word has been carefully chosen by a wordsmith to evoke a feeling, an experience, or what it feels like to fall in love. The author is a gifted poet.

 

If you’re a romantic or a fan of poetry, you’re in for a treat with this poetry collection. Brilliant from start to finish, these poems will have you falling in love.

N.N. Night’s Rating: 5+ stars

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 Reviews

I have been delighted by some of the wonderful comments I have received via early reviews… here are some…

Thank you so much to wonderful author and poet D L Finn for reading and reviewing. And for being my first review and my first 5 star review!


Thank you so much to Amy B Garratt Author and Poet for reading and reviewing and creating this lovely graphic for me. Amy is a fantastic poet you will find on Instagram.

Thank you to a new reader Reggie for the above quote via Book Sirens!

E E’s name came to my mind while reading M J’s poems; I felt a similar sweetness, honesty, pleasant rebelliousness and force in their writing. The major concerns are about readership: is it the same numeric audience today like one hundred years ago? And who’s still reading poetry in 2024? We witness the fact that it is more and more difficult for the modern society to cultivate reading habits and a culture of written (and published) words, when it lacks a reading culture. Thus, I ask myself: how brave must an author be to write poetry in the 21st century?

Mrs Mallon proved (again) her bravery in the first line of the poetic flank on the publishing battlefield. I have come to believe that almost ninety percent of the art of versification is about courage, and that the courage to spend time with yourself and write poetry is much more than daring of letting lines go; it’s about allowing the life experiences to inevitably unfold and evoke powerful pictures in the reader’s mind. And yes, poems don’t exist on their own, but are co-created by observers; like beauty in the eyes of the beholder. No question or doubt about it.

“I can still feel her lips on mine
Salty like the caramel snack
That she turned down for peanuts.
My hands caress her breasts
They sit up pert. Asking – no begging to be touched.”
~ fragment from ‘Valentine’s In Chocolates’ Review Quote – Dan Quijote Book Sirens. Thank you so much for Dan for his considered and utterly wonderful 5 star review!

Thank you so much to Richard Dee for featuring me on his blog. Below is a snippet of his wonderful review. Touched to read that I am amongst his favourite poets! Please pop over to his awesome blog to read the full review: https://richarddeescifi.co.uk/book-review-purely-poetry/

Thank you so much to author, poet and short story writer Sally Cronin for not only reading and reviewing but also featuring me on her blog. How awesome is that! https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2024/05/18/smorgasbord-new-book-spotlight-and-review-poetry-shh-purely-poetry-sensual-love-and-relationship-poems-by-m-j-mallon/

Love in the romantic sense is a heady complex combination of physical and emotional attraction to another, sometimes bordering on the obsessive that completely takes over to the point of shutting out everything around you. Senses are heightened bringing a new perspective to the most mundane of activities, sights and sounds.

The author captures the depth of this sensual awakening and also the changes it brings to our lives in her poetry.  The poems start slowly taking the reader through courtship into full blown relationships highlighting the highs and the lows along the way. The path of true love is not always smooth and as well as passion, one needs forgiveness and compassion. Review Quote Sally Cronin.

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.
