More About the Author

Lloyd H. Whitling, a native Pennsylvanian, has been in trouble since 1937 due to a sense of curiosity that cannot be satisfied with superficial or artificial details about his surroundings. His hands-on attitude has led him through a diverse existence that he draws on for his books and web site. The result is a unique point of view that, most likely, will keep him in trouble with his readers.

This review is from: Daemonic POETRY of Lloyd Harrison Whitling (Paperback)

Whether Lloyd's poems are good depends upon the reader. Robert Rimmer loved them enough to write a forward. The International Library of Poetry thought enough of them to publish a sample poem in "The Best Poems and Poets of 2001" (ISBN 0-7951-5174-8) that will be out April of 2002. You can visit his website, ... and find examples for free, or purchase Gran'Pa (ISBN 0-595-19560-1)at a lower price than this book, and read some fine examples.
Daemonic Poetry contains poems this author has penned over the course of his lifetime, which deal with a variety of subjects such as rebellious feelings against religious dogma, the state of mankind in a technocratic society, witchcraft, reincarnation, love, sex, demons, family life, romance, work, and more. Most of the poems are lengthy, a few are only one or two lines. Most have something to say, whether or not any of us would find them agreeable. Many people will find his ideas unsettling.
The allure of Lloyd's poetry led me into marriage with him; his wit and expressiveness about the depths of both our feelings has, over time, shared insights into the nature of our love relationship that have taught us both how to communicate without placing blame. It would be well worth the price of this book just to learn that.
