A Sense of Place Paperback by Richard Rose
A Sense of Place written by Richard Rose is a bouquet of wonderful memoirs he has treasured so far in his life. Reading this book gave me a very pleasant feeling and I was able to grasp Richard’s magnanimous sensitivity towards life. I firmly believe that Writers and Poets are able to pen down their thoughts with vivid imagination because they are sensitive. I definitely can relate with all of them being a Writer myself.

Andrew has over 9 books to his credit and some of his poems have originally appeared in few journals and publications.
Some of his poems are too simplistic and yet beautiful like On This Sunday Morning, “Overtop the trembling aspen raindrops fall before striking the pain”, in Winds, “Wail louder, your might, I am well, I have a book, I have a fire, I have my pen”
The very first catchy line of Olivier’s book, “He is happiest; be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home” by Goethe is so perfect and true.
Some of his collection has appeared in many publications and he has to his credit many Awards which is worth mention here. Congratulations Olivier and we look forward to many more.
His words in As One give glimpses of the word “waves” which seem to come out of his profound observations of the sea and oceans.

All the best Ivan for your wonderful and amazing words which make your book stand out.
This book is like a testimonial of the Ivan’s thoughts mainly relating to History, Philosophy and Nature. Ivan, I liked your way of penning your poetries by naming them with alphabets. You have exhibited an exemplary skill of narrating the historical palaces, as well. This is just the first impression of browsing through your book.
Destiny Rides, Rock n’ Roll, More than Oxygen and Slow Moving Train are rather long poems but worth reading.
This is how every Poet/Writer narrates his/her experience of writing as in This Morning. “Fire burns in my fingertips as I hold the pen, waiting to write the words that will save me”. In Garden Stones, “On my own new place, new façade, the flush of my skin makes my appearance sublime. The world watches as I hide my fault lines behind written words”. Most of the Poets and Writers are introvert; I too feel the same being a Writer myself, and so I can relate to your words as you wrote in your Introvert’s Lament, “Too many people on the trail, crowds steal my breath, I become small, distant, over”. Today Turtles were my favorite animal, their shells my hiding place, a shelte
