I am so impressed with your review, I now want to find that book and read it too! This is extremely well done, with using quotes from poems as well as your beautiful descriptions, and interesting bits about the author. I would so love to have someone review a book of mine like this. You are a marvel! MM

I am very impressed by your review of this poetry book. It is quite obvious you admire the poetry Kirk writes and appreciate his many topics. Your focus on WHAT he wrote certainly kindled my interest in reading this work. I do not usually read poetry reviews, but am glad I read this one. Rod

Six stars, not just for your thoughtfulness in promoting this poet's work, but for the depth and sensitivity of your review. You have certainly piqued my interest, and I shall have a closer look both in his portfolio and on Amazon. Thank you.

    That's wonderful! I have only bought two books so far that other writers have done, who are here on this website. Thanks for writing!

    I won't be setting the price for my book, the publisher will do that. It is my hope that it will be reasonably priced.

That is lovely artwork by cleo. There are some great artists on FanArtReview. You did a wonderful job with your review. You gave enough specifics so that a reader who has not read any of Quentin Kirk's poems can get an accurate idea of what they're about. You mention the subjects that capture his attention, like the mountains. Judging from your comments, Kirk has a positive outlook on life. I'm glad you mentioned the appearance of the book, as how it looks adds to a book's appeal. Great review! judi

Thank you for this lovely review of this poetry book. I don't know this poet. You say he's on Fanstory? You're so thoughtful to give a review here so more of us will know this poet!

    Yes. I was waiting for him to give his okay to include his username here. Some people here don't give their whole names. I could give a clue with the first 3 letters JUD. Thanks for reviewing!

CC,

Wow. If his book is half so good as your description of it, it must be truly marvelous! Some of the passages you used reminded me so much of the minimalism of Japanese short-form poetry - putting a whole scene in a dozen words. I enjoyed this post very much and appreciate your kindness in sharing. I don't think I'm familiar with Quentin, if possible please share his penname. Thanks!

    I was waiting for him to give his okay since some people here don't have their real life names listed, but a clue to it could be the first three letters JUD. Thanks for a great review.

    If it also includes a '7' in the name, I feel like it's okay since he's advertising his books on his profile page. I can't wait to hear what he thinks of your marvelous review!
reply by the author on 06-Jan-2021
    Yeah, hopefully I will hear back from him soon. You found the right one.
