Official Review: The Golden Window by Steven C. Brandt

[Chelsy Scherba]

I’m not the biggest fan of poetry, but some of these sound intriguing. I’ll check it out.

I have downloaded the book. Unfortunately, poetry and drama novels are not my kind of thing. I'll skip this book.

I find it interesting that some of the poems were written in a way that mimicked nature. This is something I never thought of before when it comes to poetry. Would you say that the majority of the poems were written in this style?

"The Golden Window"is a lively journey of fifty poems.The titles given to each section are rightly based on personal experiences and feelings."Self-reliance","Living full" and "care -giving" are the titles which attract me to read this book.Thorough review for honest poetry.

Looks like there are a lot of topics covered in this collection of poems. I am not into poetry but I imagine it is perfect for the reader who is.

I don't normally read too much poetry but this review makes this book seem very compelling. I was interested in the format of the poems correlating to the topic of the poem as well as the personal aspect of the poet's life coming out through his work.

[Wriley]

Impressive, that's the word that comes to mind after reading the review of this collection. I like that the author mixed up the poetry with different lengths and styles. The author was able to create a poem that appears like a wave named Rapids. That's creative. I'll be reading this book of poetry.

It's great that the author pulled from his experiences and feelings to write this collection of poems. Also, it's great to hear that the author was very conscious when putting this anthology together. I'm glad that the poems never felt stagnant and that you were eager to read every poem and that the book contained several relatable themes. Glad you enjoyed this well-edited collection of poems. Thanks for sharing!

I am not fond of poetry but after reading the review i am thinking of giving this book a try. Definitely going to add this book to my shelf to read it in future.

[EvaDar]

My, this poetry collection sounds quite well executed. I love your analysis of the variation in length and style of the poems but with a through line of good structure. I love the themes, emerging from caregiving.

[Karina Nowak]

Sounds cool the way the font formatting matches the tone of the poem. Nice to see some poetry book reviews as well.

[rusyalana]

I'm not a poetry fan, but I've read the review and this collection dwells on very important topics like firsts, nature, aging, the passage of time, love, and death, so I believe poetry lovers will definitely enjoy this book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

[Balazon2000]

Your review states that the poetry is relatable. Poetry is not my thing. I will pass this time. Congrats on the #BOTD.

[Sonya Nicolaidis]

Sometimes poems can express thoughts and feelings more succinctly than prose, and even though I’m not a great fan, there are some which ‘speak’ to me. I think there’s something in this anthology that deserves a closer look. Thank you for your great review.
