I commend Archie for writing about musicians' history in a unique (poetic) way, to ensure readers are not bored down with too much information. Thanks for this wonderful review.

I must salute the author for his amazing work, and for sharing his tribute to our Kings and Queens of this art. They have created our heritage through their music and loved by many. I always love to read about them. When I saw Elvis Presley's biography I had to take my time and read about him, Celine Dion, Madonna, and I only watched a movie about Tina Turner. So Poetic Reflections on Legendary Singers sounds like a must-read.

When reading 'poetic reflections', my first thought was that I would not be interested in the book. I love music, so my interest was piqued when understanding that the author writes about singers. I am curious to find out which 50 performers made the list.

A book of poems that talks about some of the most legendary singers in history? That is definitely a unique idea for a book, and I love that all the poems follow the same pattern. Thanks for sharing that in your review!

This 121-page book contains 50 chapters, each distinctively discussing the story of a specific singer or band. The author did meticulous work both in the information provided about each singer and in the composition of well-articulated poems. I love and appreciate how the author wrote the poems in such a way that they follow almost the same pattern. Each poem first introduces the singer, then mentions where he or she was born, and also describes their managers. Luper also includes some of their most popular songs in the words of his poem. This work exemplifies both good research and artistic prowess on the part of the author. Specifically, I am elated to read the story of Beyoncé, who is known for her 'Powerful and Dynamic live performance,' and the classic, thoroughly crafted poem that the author describes her with. I love the simplicity of this book; it is not bombarded with idle words. There is nothing specific I dislike in the book; I would love to read it over again.

- Being able to give a singer/band's details in poetic form is quite impressive. I can't wait to read such amazing work. The review has motivated me more than ever to read this book. Thank you.
