APPEAL TO LANGUAGE POEMS by YANNIS PHILLIS
Hearty congratulations, Yannis, for the reason that your poems of this collection have appeared in Poetry Salzburg Review & Contemporary Poetry Volume 3. We very much wish that you come up with many more stories to narrate. Reading your book on poems was actually like reading stories. I found your writing very unique because of this.
“An amputated past not only starves the present but poisons it”, lines by D.R. Wallace have literally set me thinking.
I am surprised by the fact that how one Greeting Card has inspired Sam to write this novel that runs over 500 pages! He has appreciated Birute Putrius for the card. This is something beyond imagination. The book looks like reading memoirs of his childhood, and growing up and where he talks about his father who is an American soldier and his mother, a Nun. Basically, this book talks about his life and his perceptions towards life.
Wandering by Michael L. Newell
Going through the “Acknowledgement page”, it seems to me that Michael has been into writing since 1971, and he has almost 15 books to his credit so far, and many of his poems have been featured in various periodicals.

Book Review – The Delphic Musings
At the outset, let me congratulate Professor Rathore on the inclusion of five of his poems in Indo-Australian Anthology entitled “Dancing the Light” which came out in January 2020. He had sent me the book and I have enjoyed reading the poetry therein. It indeed is a proud moment for him and all his readers as well. Sir, this is your masterstroke!
I must say, Neal, “the pleasant feelings indeed are mutual”, as you said.
Reading the title of book at the outset inspired me to go through the pages; randomly at first and then page by page. I must say, Neal, “the pleasant feelings indeed are mutual”, as you said.

Perhaps Julius Caesar born 100 B.C., died 44 B.C., who wrote and depicted his personal experiences about epic battles, was the first memoirist. The memoirs by Julius Caesar were : The African Wars, The Alexandrian Wars, The Civil Wars, The Gallic Wars, and The Spanish Wars.

It is of course, also an autobiography, and a Feminist auto
