Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  railheater | Jun 12, 2020 |   Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Inspired by Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, A Kiss for the Worthy is a collection of poetry that explores many themes, including love and life.This is the first time that I have read a collection of poetry from Frank Prem, and wow, I was not disappointed at all! With every verse, I found myself reflecting about myself, my life, and the world. Frank Prem is wonderful at evoking emotions and memories, masterfully connecting them with observations about nature, life, and the world. I loved how simplistic yet meaningful each line was, I just loved every poem. It is so difficult for me to choose a favourite poem, but I guess it would have to be “Not Until (I Die)”. Here's an excerpt from the poem: I am alive And it is so Very good This ambrosia Of breathing Of being… Me This poem really resonated with me, as I was really able to feel the sheer joy and happiness of living described by the poem. I got this book from a LibraryThing giveaway, and I’m grateful for the chance to read one of Frank Prem’s works. A Kiss for the Worthy is a sensory delight, and a wonderful collection of poems.

Drawing on the phrasing of Walt Whitman's great late 19th century poem Leaves of Grass Frank Prem has produced a collection of expansive and outward looking love poetry written, as always, in the unique sty,le that allows every reader to relate.Prem's interpretations breathe new life into contemporary exploration of themes of love in poetry, and utilise Whitman's original phrases to inspire a contemplation of the self in the context of landscape and the wider world.a kiss for the worthy is the second of three collections that together comprise A Love Poetry Trilogy, with each revisiting outstanding work by stellar poets of the past to produce vibrant new collections. The first collection, walk away silver heart, draws on Amy Lowell's deeply personal Madonna of the Evening Flowers, while the third, rescue and redemption, derives from T.S Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.This is a new kind of poetry that tells stories, draws pictures and elicits emotional responses from readers. Just as the best poetry should.

I thought the opening poem, “mmm-hmmm (this day)” immediately set a wonderful tone in how it conveyed the waiting beauty of perspective when love and respect for self is held dear. I also felt the joy that can be brought to others in this but for me it seemed this aspect was more a complement to feeling the fruitful contentment in the open-mindedness of “only I” and finding “the whole of me.”
I think the best way to describe this second book of love poems is a kaleidoscope. It used many parts of the world to make me feel my own light inside was a little brighter, a little bigger, a little more. For me, I loved seeing and feeling every turn within this collection’s patterns.
Many thanks to the author for the review copy of, A Kiss for the Worthy. (
