Words of Marc D Brown

By Marc D Brown


4 out of 5

Synopsis:

A lot of people have a preconceived notion on what poetry is...Well I'm here to try and change peoples minds. My writing is honest, raw, down to earth and very far from being pretentious.
A collection of short poems, some hard-hitting but an easy to read book, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Poems about life, love & death.

Review:
What I know about poetry could fit on the back of the postage stamp and still have room for the entire works of Shakespeare. All I know is what I do and do not like; and this definitely falls into the first category.
I could offer a pretentious review of this collection of poems, but that would be an insult to the unforced and truthful nature of Brown's work.

I would recommend this book, it appeals to even the poetically ignorant, like me.

The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer 3.5 out of 5 Synopsis Clover Brooks has forgotten how to live. It might be because she spends her time caring for people in their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Or it might be because she has a regret of her own - one she can't bring herself to let go of. But then she meets Claudia: a feisty old woman who has one last wish . . . As Clover begins a new adventure, will she remember how to live her own big, beautiful life? A big-hearted story about figuring out what you want from life - and then finding the courage to go after it. Perfect for fans of Sally Page, Ruth Hogan and Clare Pooley. Review Clover is a death doula - she helps people come to terms with their ending lives. She religiously records their final words of advice, or regrets; to the point where she forgets to live. I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The story follows Clover, a woman in her mid-thirties. Despite...
