The BookViral Review:
Love poems have become increasingly grounded in pop culture and whilst the genre is populated with an unfailing degree of mediocrity Joseph Wood’s Dawn Of Speech is not only beautifully written it has a quality that goes beyond sentimentality.
Wood adopts an unconventional approach to his poetic prose which he enters through invisible portals. Portals that lead us to reflect on the raw emotions of love as our hearts and minds find themselves torn in different directions. Whilst an assured simplicity underpins his poetic theme and amplifies the power of his words.
Through his poems, Wood establishes himself as a subtle observer of feelings with the ability to find the right tropes to express his themes but without coming across as overindulgent.
In part, this is down to the brevity of Wood’s poems. And yet as short as they are he nevertheless succeeds in capturing the complexity of love. The trials and tribulations, and the paths we invariably follow to find it.
Of particular note are the poems Draining Rain, Sleeping, Night Terrors and Sing Me To Sleep. Each one is incredibly intimate as they delve into the often paradoxical nature of our feelings to offer us much by way of reflection.
A short but highly memorable collection of poetry that introduces us to a notable new poet, Dawn Of Speech is strongly recommended.
In a blaze of colour imagery and a maze of ancient flashbacks, ‘Mexican Sunset’ shines its light on highly emotive and deep parts of human nature and dependency, following the emotional biographic adventure of Rick Jebb as he negotiates loss, love and the difficult business of growing up.
Readers looking for a genuine nerve shredder need look no further than The Genesis 6 Project! A novel that makes it readers feel like active participants in its unfolding horror as Ferguson keeps them on the edge of their seats throughout.
As inconceivable as it seems, the ‘man’, Jeff Bezos himself, has predicted the demise of Amazon. “Amazon is not too big to fail … In fact, I predict one day Amazon will fail,”
You know the ones! The edge of your seat, knuckle gnawing, nail biting books. So, what makes for a good plot. Is there a magic recipe? Or is it just potluck?
As writers, we knowingly place ourselves in a position where we will undoubtedly face more rejection than the average person and it seems to me that how we handle that part of the creative process is often key to our success.
You don’t have to be a romantic to believe in broken hearts and yet heartbreak is an intrinsic part of the romantic cycle.
