On
the "Voice of the Author/Publisher Thread" on Amazon KDP– which by the way should be more rigorously
moderated for bullying and harassment – a poster said of The Land
Of Cudhabeen poem that the “poet makes a good bricklayer – keep
up the the day job.”
There
was also reference to me being a “Poor Delusional Beastie", another
advised me to buy a CreateSpace copy of my own book as a souvenir –
as “if you sell one copy of your poems you will be doing well”.
Of
course: it goes without saying that these Plonkers had not read the
book or Kindle copy at all.
Now
lets get to the real readers: and what they said...
Lazarian
Wordsmith's book gives a wonderful insight into Ireland's ancient
culture. The writer investigates some of the strange stories and
legends which make his country so fascinating. The writing is
wonderfully poetic; it's also gripping - I read it in one eager gulp.
This paperback is a necessary companion to any 'ordinary' guide book
to Ireland, and will be a delight to readers with an interest in the
country's many mystical qualities."
The
Land of Cudhabeen resonated powerfully with me after my recent loss …
of a brother..to cancer...
The
lyricism of the prose stories makes them poetic and the poems are
prosaic. There is very strong emotion in the words, there is
laughter, and hope, but mostly there is the sadness of a lost love .
The
fairy Tale is written in such a way that you believe the writer, has
a some stage, indeed been “Away With The Fairies”.
I can now see the
head Troglodyte and his band of Amazon Forum Trolls crouching around
a dim fire glow, in the flickering shadows, at the back of a
darkish cave; chipping away at their slates...the message -He Wrote
Those Himself - while tongue licking their nasal secretion,
candle-wax dropping snots, with their now silent tongue and
swallowing the mess for their daily nourishment. They look up with
their Golum eye-lidless eyes and lick their lips and think – we are
precious. Legends in our own minds!
