Dawn, I will be delighted to read it. But where is it? Have I already missed it and the opportunity to comment? I'll be looking again. Admittedly, our cherries are clouding my brain. I'll have a look again. A hug. Ulla:)x

"WHAT GOOD IS SPRING" is the first poem - from there you can access the book or, if you look inside my portfolio, it's on the first page - "JUST BREATHE" is the book's title.
Thanks very much.

Comment from Joan E.
Thanks for your lighthearted introduction to your new book. I am intrigued with your title and am impressed with the idea of a thousand-word Crown of Sonnets. Best wishes with the publication--just back from Cuba and desperately trying to catch up-- Joan

Thank YOU for your interest, my friend. Oh, and Joan, catching up has become my name...(LOL)

Send me a message and let me know exactly how to connect to read your book and it shall be done with promise of feedback directly to you! Many thanks in advance and looking forward to it!

If you're okay with the fact that I'm not an expert when it comes to poetry, I'll give it a try.
I guess the worst thing that could happen is that you become totally convinced I'm poetry challenged. LOL

LOL - I am not worried - by the time any of my poems become part of a book I am planning to submit for publication, I'm pretty much satisfied that they are ready, so all you are really doing is telling me whether you liked it or not. :))
But thank you!!!!
-
I can do that! :o)
-
YAY!!!!! THANK you!
Comment from rama devi
That sounds exciting, dear Dawn. Not sure if I'll have time to do it but I will try. I really should not be reviewing and posting here right now, as I have so much other work pending. But I do take 'breaks' here during chai time. :)
Good luck. I hope many Fanstorians review your book.
Warmly, rd

RD ----- I am near tears with the thought that you might review this book. THANK you!!!!
-
May not be able to review them all...but will try to do a few and skim the others...super busy this week--and month...and I travel soon too....
-
RD, what's most important to me is NOT the individual review of each poem at all - it is the overall cohesiveness. Fill in the reviews with XXXXX's to earn the payout if you like - your comment on the book itself is more important. :)) Big hugs.
-
Without writing reviews, it shouldn't take more than a half hour to read everything - I've done it. And again - THANK you!!!!!!
-
Ah yes---but half an hour is long, dear, when I have to use up all my editing energies on paying clients for so many hours a day. I am unable, at the moment, for example, to read a single line and review it...brain is too foggy. I am just able to reply to reviews and replies...and only barely. Literally seeing double. So the timing is not good...but I will try tomorrow.
-
If you'd like me to do it professionally, in depth, you can become a client. A superficial read may not be as good, but I will be happy to do what I can (when I can). A bit behind...and spending way too much time on Fanstory...
Love and hugs,
rd
-
No worries, RD - as you can, IF you can.:))
-
Wow, thanks, but I really just need the test marketing - the poems themselves I'm happy with - it's just the idea of the whole book on one theme, and how it might be accepted by the public. But thank you. You are in my thoughts for my novels, though - I just can't seem to stay focused enough on one yet...
-
Hi dear...novels sometimes have a long gestation time. Be patient with your muse! :-)))
Will browse your book today.
Love, rd
-
I just read your PM (and saved it) - you're the best!!!! THANK you!!!

Hi Dawn,
Thank you for the invitation. Are you self publishing at Amazon? I'd love to hear what you think of the experience. I'm trying to decide how I'd like to proceed in a similar vein. I'd especially be interesting in hearing your first hand results and impression of the process.
I'll be happy to check out your book and give you feedback.

Not sure yet were I will publish - I might go traditionally. As for self-publishing, I have to say, it's a lot of work, but rewarding.
Thank YOU, Kim - I will eagerly await your reviews! (You already know how much I admire your work, so it goes without saying!!!)

I wish you every success with this book of poetry Dawn. I will certainly review the works as they appear.
However, not being a poet myself, I can only hope that I will do them justice in my reviews.
hugs

The whole book comes out at once, Freda - then there are only ten days that it pays. There are a total of 21 poems - all are very short, though, except one.
Being a poet is not important at all - I don't need that kind of feedback. *smile* Being a lover of poetry is all that is required - that's the feedback I need (whether you enjoyed it or not).
Thanks, my friend.
Comment from GWinterwin
I will read the book Dawn and give my honest opinion. I see you said the book would be available on 17/17 and I don't see it. Old short upstairs George may just be over looking it.

I am delighted, George, thank you! No, you were not missing a thing - I just now posted it with the Book Balloon. Warm hugs, my friend, and prayers, as always... XX

Dear Dawn, I would be happy to offer any assistance in this project. I also am trying to put a poetry book together for a submission. If honest reviews are what you seek, I would be happy to oblige. I've cut back reviewing a lot here because not many want that type of review. I will do my best to be fair and constructive, but honest in my reviews. Good luck with your project.

Thank you - the 'assistance' I need is simple; it's just to test the market. I just want to know how well the book is received. The 'project is complete. (Being a poet is not important - I have written poetry for many years and have books published already.) All I am really looking at is the overall, or general public's comments. But thanks - your offer is appreciated.
