won this on Goodreads First Reads thank you et al
Ms, Vilmont is truly a gifted poet without a doubt, She has a very unique style both mesmerizing and hypnotic, Her poems paint a picture with meaning, depth and clarity, Ms. Vilmont expressed herself in such a way I felt as if she was the voice inside my head/heart screaming to be heard.
Her poetry reaches a broad audience and most will find a selection striking a chord with their own inner thoughts.
If you are not familiar with poetry or tend to shy away from poetry as a whole, I urge you to read this book.
I guarantee with Ms. Vilmont's gift of magnificent prose you will become an instant fan of both author and writing technique.
This is more than a book it is a work of art, Thank you Ms. Vilmont for sharing your talent and words with us, This work of art is an excellent vehicle to further your exploration of poetry, Often times when think of poetry, we think of flowers and kittens, walks on the beach and fairy tale true love.
This poet reminds us that not only are such saccharine ideals a fraction of the art form, they are also just a fraction of life.
Her poems remind us that love and relationshipsand life by implication are ambiguously clear, blissfully depressing and constantly changing.
The Author avoid the Hollywood endings with a realistic look at today's relationships, Gone is the idea of one true love, replaced with the reality of searching for someone to connect with.
A refreshing reminder that life and love are wonderfully complex with highs and lows that keep it from being boring.
Poetry is something I enjoy reading, This collection reveals so much about the author that it really does
tell her life story.
She has a great way of helping me to understand what she is feeling as she writes.
I received a copy through Goodreads First Reads, "Ophelia's Wayward Muse" is the end result of a decade of intrigue and infatuation, retold in poetic and artistic form.
Join the journey through the world of complex, meaningful, and often painfully vulnerable human connection, told via the eyes of your average wayward muse.
The story of romance, infatuation, unrequited passion, lovers, soulmates, strangers, passing connections and lifealtering intrigue, this comingofage story is one of raw emotion and inspiration.
"Ophelia's Wayward Muse" is a platform of poetic tales that reaches the audience on a wide scale.
There is a story told in all that the Author presents, Her poems are driven from the depth of inspiration to a level of intrigue and adventure.
It's all in how the reader embraces its message, With every word written, I found a meaningful story behind the reading, I commend the author on her work of art, I must admit that I have a weak spot for poetry although I dont read as much I wished.
First of all, thank you for the time to write a dedicatory to my person, second I did love to read your introduction about how this collection came to be.
It made me relate to you and anxious to dive into your poetic intrigue,
As we read it, we merge into the author emotions, I found myself completely focus despite the mess around me and welcome a clarity of mind.
I must admit that I have a blog that is quite similar to the one that originated this collection, where memories come together in poems, in prose to be preserved.
I chuckled when I read “the lady of shallot” as once I was inspired by it and made a particular poem that no other of my creations could stand by it.
“The fall of Camelot” touched me in a surprising way but “unbeautiful” did it even better.
My favorite part was this piece of the “sentimental retirement”
“ if you listen carefully enough
To the early autumn evenings,
You can hear the rhythmic pattern
Of my breathing
The cold night, and illuminating sparkle
Of uncertain.
You are the tenderness I was promised
I do not know how
Such a thing became
A legacy.
”
This is a book to be read slowly, theres no rush, you can absorb the emotions at different times instead of being in a turmoil of feelings.
