An Emotional War Poem

Would you listen to England to the Sea again? Why?

Yes, I think it requires further listens to fully absorb, as this poem has a unique structure.

What was one of the most memorable moments of England to the Sea?

The reference to former sea commanders of the British Empire such as Drake and Nelson. It gives you a feeling for the historical legacy of England and Britain.

What does Phillip J. Mather bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His voice booms like a wave crashing on the side of a galley. It fits perfectly.

Honest Emotion in a Poem

I didn't know what to expect with this book, but once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's an heartbreaking story about lost love and a partner with an addiction, and written as a poem. I couldn't help but feel the author's pain as he goes through his life trying to get his addicted partner to stop taking drugs. He loves her dearly, but when she takes off with their son, the little boy he loves with all of his heart, he goes on a heartbreaking search to find them. He wants nothing more than to be reunited with his little son, and hopefully his wife as well. His problem is, the little boy he's loved and cared for since birth isn't his biological child, and this makes it even more difficult for him to get help because the mother has custody. The frustration and raw emotion of the author on this journey tears at the heartstrings and you just want him to succeed in getting his wife off drugs and to be reunited as a family, or at least to have some part in the little boy's life. To find out what happens, you'll have to read the book.

I found this to be an Awesome read.

Although written in separate poems, this piece of work shares a cohesive story. It faces the dark reality in our present day society that often overlooks the emotional turmoil a man faces with the separation of a child he loves. It is a sincere look into a tormented man has he faces his addictions and those of ones he loves and his ultimate goal to fight for and claim the child he calls son. Mr. Knittle writes with a sincerity from the depths of his soul. It is a talent that I find refreshing and much needed today. I found this to be an Awesome read.

Highlighted by dark undertones this collection of poems tells a modern story that anyone can enjoy. The story though very sad is very real

This collection of poems is very touching on many levels. A story of both redemption and compassion for past mistakes. One man battles his demons in epic form. Normally I don't find myself reading or searching out Epic style poetry, but with this one I found myself staying for the story. Highlighted by dark undertones this collection of poems tells a modern story that anyone can enjoy. The story though very sad is very real. It is a story that we all hear about, but not typically through the eyes of those going through it. I enjoyed the authors ability to blend in fantasy, the genre, into real life issues. To be fully enjoyed one must read each poem the nature of Epic Poetry. Though there were a few that stood out to me. The Birthing One, Darkness, The Three, The Vision, and Renee. The Vision was my favorite out of all of them. I feel that it stands up well on it's own and in the course of the story. Renee I also feel was really good and a smart choice to put towards the end. Renee is good on it's own, but shines even brighter after reading the book from the beginning.

A heartbreaking tale that is sadly not over.

The Devastation Of War

What did you love best about The Wife of Flanders?

The tragic tone of the poem, of the mother who had seven sons until that day, until the war, that is. The portrayal, in beautiful language, of the devastation and waste the war had laid.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Most war poems come from the viewpoint of soldiers or the countries for which they fight. It is touching to note that even a century or so ago, the voice of the mothers left behind to grieve and rebuild were also heard and put to paper.

Which character as performed by Phillip J. Mather was your favorite?

The entire narration was very good. There is a somber tone to the whole poem, a tragic one, and Mr. Mather presented it quite well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It didn't make me cry, but it did make me ponder over the horrors of war, and how good countries often allow evil to flourish until extreme pain is required to beat it.

Great narration, the reality of wars wages.

What made the experience of listening to The Wife of Flanders the most enjoyable?

The GK Chesterton Poem awakens thoughts and empathy for the parents whose sons never came home. The narration is evocative and stirring

Title: Wishes

A Collection of Poetry

"Heroes"

Do heroes wake up and say / I'm going to be a hero today? / Or does bravery slip on like a suit / When forced down a dangerous route?

Members Reviews:

Sweet Wishes

I recall a quote that would describe this book of Ms. Puckett's poetry:

âBe generous with your smile and try not to frown.

And you will see my children; your smile will never let you down ââ

â Benny Bellamacina, The King of Rhyme

The poetry presented in this collection is the kind that is simple and direct and is like receiving a smile from the author. Puckett uses couplet rhyming throughout her pieces to highlight a myriad of emotions. Though this collection is not representative of more contemporary styles and forms, her message is timeless and will resonate with a majority of her readers. Those who are familiar with Puckett's style will not be disappointed. However, for me, I would have liked a larger variety in style if only to experience the diverse topics as they might be experienced through many windows.

The cover is delightfully elegant and well represents the gentleness of Puckett's verses. "Wishes" is the title of a poem within this collection.

For those interested in length, this is chapbook equivalent and appears to be a print version of an ebook (the formatting is more in line with an ebook) since it lacks the standard book matter formatting. Would do well as a part of a multi-volume collection.

(This review will be posted on Amazon and Goodreads but the overall ratings may differ due to difference in definitions.)

This is a war poem about the man who stays home to work, to feed, to keep the wheels of commerce turning. It's a war poem about men who are not soldiers yet contribute to the welfare and prosperity of a nation at war. I found this take unique among all the war poems I have read or listened to.

Yes. It is very short and I listened to it numerous times in one sitting.

One Of the Best War Poems I've Listened To

What made the experience of listening to We Willed It Not the most enjoyable?

This poem is a call to the Germans, and not to many poems of the period were thus addressed. The poet assures the Germans that England had no desire on their land, property, rights, and that Englishman wanted peace. He states a common cultural heritage and berates the Germans and Austrians for behaving as barbarians.

This is not a war that England wanted, but now it will have to fight.

What did you like best about this story?

The historical references and the excellent narration were this piece best parts.

Which character as performed by Phillip J. Mather was your favorite?

The entire reading was superb.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It is one of the finest poems read by Mr. Mather. I enjoyed it a good deal.
