Summary: Breathless!
Comment: This collection of poetry has me breathless! The depth of emotion in these poems is endless. So much beauty is presented here it is virtually indescribable. I can only say that any poetry lover needs this book, and anyone interested in beautiful writing should truly consider investing in this book. You do not have to be a fan of poetry to fall for this poet, his words are like stories that engulf you in its tale, never letting go! Many nights I have found myself still immersed in a world of his creation long after I had closed the book.

To put it simply: Kenneth Wood is an amazing poet, a timeless visionary, and most importantly, an epic storyteller!

Buy this book.

Summary: A book words cannot describe!!
Comment: I'm almost at a loss for words when I try to find a way to review this book! Epic, grandiose, Mesmerizing...three simple yet powerful words that could easily accompany this book.

It goes without saying that indeterminate amounts of heart, mind, soul, and integrity went into the creation of this book, from cover to cover. While reading this book the most predominate emotion I feel is sheer amazement. Simply put, this man writes intense, amazing heartfelt poetry! And more than that, he has the ability to create stories and new worlds' for the readers, creating a vivid, welcoming escape to the dreary, monotonous drone of everyday life.

This book will stay at my bedside when sleep eludes me, and when the nighttime birds do not sing me to sleep, these words will guide me to a place of deep peace. This is a guarantee.

Again, I am trying to find words to explain something virtually beyond words of praise. This is an ocean of thought, in which you'll gladly drown.

Pen on, my friend, pen on...

Summary: Thank You!
Comment: This book reminds me of one of my favorite authors'...Stephen Crane! He is most notably known for his "Red Badge of Courage" book, but he wrote some wonderful, alluring poetry.

There are about 200 pages in this book and every page is a wonderful read. He is mainly a free verse poet, straying from the typical rhyming scheme we see in a lot of poetry these days, but he is not above writing this kind of poetry. Most of the rhyming poems are short with a lot of punch, or they come in free form style without structure and a fast flow, and it's great. It reminds me of rap style, which is rare in poetry. I could see a lot of these poems going over well in poetry slams.

Another great thing about the book is it is broken up into sections and each section ends with a long epic-style poem at least 3 pages long. The first sections seems to be the lighthearted section where he seems to touch upon love and hope, and other things of that nature.

The second section is the darker section, with poems written in a manner to express sadness and despair, even psychosis!

The third section reads like a story and I believe this is what the author intended it to do. There are two sub-sections aptly name "The End" (section 1) and "The Beginning" (section 2). It starts with a foreword type statement, a prelude if you will, and into the first poem which is a haunting plea written to himself called "A Letter From Prison" and that sets a sad tone of despair. Still, as the reader progresses through the pages you find yourself intrigued as to where he is going, and when your reach the end you can actually feel the hope and love withing his words! You will strain to hold tears back after reading the final poem!

All in all, I could not find one thing wrong with this book! Fans of poetry will LOVE this book, and I cannot stress that more. For those who do not like poetry may want to give this a try, you've never read poetry like this! Kenneth is a great poet and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves!
