In the stillness of my mind as the world around me communicates with a creative passion that touches my heart to reveal and release an overflow of profound poetry from deep within the recesses of my very soul. I flow with an artistically unique rhythm that is all my own. Step into a world created to sooth, center and expose the senses. Im artistry through fluent and flowing poetry in motion and Im letting it flow..

Reviews for Peer Inside My Soul and See Me

[reynahawk-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I first have to say that I am not one that reads poetry a lot. However, WOW!! This book is some of the best I have read. The author truly is gifted in conveying her thoughts and emotions to leap out of the page and touch you. Many times I teared up with the emotion that had poured onto the page. It was as if the author was sitting right there guiding me into a look of what lies in her heart and soul. I have only read one other poet that touched me this way and it was Sylvia Plath. If you enjoy poetry that is much more than rhyming words thrown on a page; this is the book for you. My favorites are Misunderstood and Fade to Black. However, when I read those that were dedicated to certain people, it touched something in me. To feel such raw emotions simply by reading words off a page is rare. De Ann is truly a talented poet!I received this book free from the author and have in no way been paid for this review.

Beautifully Written, Poignant PoetryDe Ann Townes Jr. opens up the most intimate places in her being, inviting you to read her, all of her: the passion, the longing, the hurt. She takes you deep inside, in spite of her pain and vulnerability, because at that moment, the moment when you peer inside, her emotions are most raw, intense, and vivid. Her poetry is about her love, her jealousy, and even about her longing to be defined by her lover. At times she lets the man she loves think of her as if she were a big canvas. With total submission, total rapture she lets him become the creator of her existence. Such are her images, images that elevate the ordinary into a poetic vision. Her rapture sweeps her, and him too, into a mystical spell of destruction. De Ann shows no hesitation when she introduces certain expressions, once in a while, in spanish into her poems, which adds a special touch, as if you caught whisper between the two of them. She gave special attention to the layout of the book, where all the poems are 'centered' on the page. This makes the words, and the varying length of each phrase, become a graphical element black on white, as if the poem has turned into a graphic vase, holding the words inside.Highly recommended!
