Paper Bags & Flower Petals Review

I am not generally in the habit of reviewing independently published books sold on Amazon, but this volume is an exceptional exception.  In particular for me, these poems are a reminder not to take myself too seriously as a writer and not to be afraid to put words out into the world. 

Kezia Burgoyne is an unpretentious, joyful writer.  The poems in this book range from simple and fun to serious and complex.  Her keen observation of the world and attention to detail are reflected in language that is fresh, engaging, and accessible.  This volume is about journeys – the physical and the spiritual – that we all undertake in some way.  The inclusion of poems by Kayuga de Guzman and the whimsical illustrations by Ivy Burgoyne add to the pleasure of this book.  Well worth the purchase price!
