To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
A lovely collection of poems, like finding a perfect shell on the beach - unexpected and beautiful. I do not profess to knowing anything about poetry but I do know about emotions and this collection makes you 'feel'. My favourites were 'Clouds Pass By','Tangled Thoughts and 'Shadow Fall'. I loved the change of pace with 'And Amid The Dark of Night' and the simplicity I found in reading 'Love Letter'. I could go on and on... suffice to say this is a wonderful body of work that should be read.
5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent collection by a very talented poet.

Having read Kevin Cowdall's terrific novella, Paper Gods and Iron Men, I was interested to see this collection of his poetry and was certainly not disappointed. His poetry is wonderfully descriptive and evokes thoughts of my younger days in many cases. I particularly enjoyed Haunted, my favourite piece in this collection. This is an easy to read, and very entertaining collection, easily worth five stars.

Ok i am the first to admit that poetry is not and area in which i can claim to be an expert. The author caresses many sensitive subjects with a light and thoughtful skill, delivering poems that are in many cases, thought provoking. The poem Haunted was my favourite, possibly due to living next to an abandoned school as a child.

Another five star review for this collection of Kevin's poems. I have read some of them before in his other publications but others were new to me and I wasn't disappointed. The language and rhythm in the poems evoke powerful images and take you to familiar or new places in the imagination. Definitely worth a read and also checking out his other works.
