What I’ve Read (reviews)

Little Bird poem by Dawn Benedict (Rhymes, Dreams, Fantasy and Thoughts) An utterly charming poem about a little bird growing from nestling to fledgling and learning to fly.

Coal Lament poem by Dawn Renee Miller (Dawn Maree Writes) A sad poem about the cost of coal mining and questioning the idea of “clean coal”.

What Was poem by Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy (Grace of the Sun) This beautiful poem’s a picture painted with words, of a writer lost in reminiscence.


If I read it and I like it, or find it interesting, it goes in here. I try to only include one item from any single author in a week (even if I loved a number of things they published), because otherwise the list would get over-long.

I don’t do paid reviews, but I do accept recommendations, and even review copies of books, so if you’d particularly like me to review something, tell me about it.
