‘A Traveler's Soliloquies: a collection of poems, illustrated!’
This is a wonderful collection of poems. I particularly enjoyed those dedicated to childhood, emphasising the need for freedom and the absorbing of nature’s beauty. The poems are sensual, particularly visual, I think and they evoke feelings of oneness with nature. The landscape is beautifully portrayed in subtle cameos, in miniature. I loved ‘Rising: Welcoming the Light’, particularly, as it is full of optimism for a new day, the sensual joy on opening the curtains and the awakening of the spirit. I like the concluding poems that refer to endings, night-time and the hint of new beginnings.
I feel the key strength of these lovely poems is the understanding of nature and natural processes – they have an organic feel, as if weaved from vines, written on leaves, painted with earth colours – those are the images, the connotations I experience.
Sumptuous writing. Highly starred.

‘Where She Lies’

I highly recommend the poem, "My Anthropomorphism To A Leaf" found in Chapter 4 of my son's book, "A Traveler's Soliloquies: A Collection Of Poems, Illustrated!

The poems in this anthology were written from the heart, in child-like voice of pure honesty. Find time to read the poems in the collection, back the book and help bring it to the attention of publishers so we me get the chance to see the complete version of the book of poems, illustrated!

You are an amazing poet, and this is some amazing poetry. Wow. I am impressed. I know little about poetry and understand it even less, but you did a great job in writing poetry that makes sense, yet is still poetic in every meaning of the word. Very well done. Highest stars. Lacy

Hi Jeques,
Sorry to be so long in getting back to you – I’ve been busy doing some re-writes on Hens. You have some beautiful poetry here. You are very gifted. I’ve only read a selection so far, but certainly want to look at more. I particularly liked ‘In The Promise of Your Grip’ from Chapter 3. Well done.

The cover of my book, A TRAVELER'S SOLILOQUIES, is the illustration I created for my poem: "Unrequited" found in Chapter 7. It's 11x16 in dimension, a pencil, ink and pen on paper drawing. Please note that the collection of poems included in the book are illustrated, but I'm unable to post the illustration part of the book here. My profile picture is a self-portrait and the illustration for my poem, "My Anthropomorphism To A Leaf" found in Chapter 4.

I wish to publish my anthology of poems, illustrated! and launch the book in a one-man-show exhibit to showcase the illustrations I created for the poems in paintings and drawings - the collection is close to 100 artworks - the largest: 48x48 oil on canvas titled "Prologue" for my poem of the same title included in the book.

I wish you well.

Oh and by the way, did you create your own book cover?? I really like it. I'm giving you five stars for the work. Good luck with it!

Hello Jeques,

Here is my return read as promised. I always feel a little out of sorts critting poetry. I just don't feel qualified. So I'll just comment as a casual reader. They are really beautiful poems and I always wonder what inspired people to write the type of poetry that they do. Oh and by the way, did you create your own book cover?? I really like it. I'm giving you five stars for the work. Good luck with it!

By – Jeques B. Jamora

Always happy to read poems.
Like you, I’ve been interested in them from an early age.
I enjoy creating them and reading the works of others.
As such, i’ve turned the pages of book and took pleasure in what you’ve written.
It’s hard to get poems published...well that’s what I’ve always been led to believe.
A lot of work has gone into yours so I hope that you are successful.
Hope you don’t mind, I’ve corrected the Book Title spelling. (Traveller’s)

Best wishes, many stars for this good effort, Jeques.

American Heritage Dictionary: Traveler and traveller are both correct usage. Traveller is chiefly british. Thanks.

I wish you well.
