5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite on a China Plate by Jay Leeming, June 1, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dynamite on a China Plate (Paperback)

Jay Leeming's poems in "Dynamite on a China Plate" entice the reader's mind to view the events in his life as if for the first time. The poet's play with language enhances the ordinary into becoming extraordinary. The beauty of each poem is captured and then let go with a surprise the reader will remember long after he has put the book down. On top of this, Leeming's poetry carries the rhythmic beat of an accomplished musician. This collection is a "must-read"--even if you don't like poetry.

Yes, Jay Leeming's work is like an agate - you've never seen one quite like his before. His poems and angles on the world make you think, "Why didn't I think of that, why didn't anyone think of that?" Like all brilliant poets, he shows us what we've always known, but never thought of. This the most fun I've had between the covers of a book in a long time.

A wonderful collection of poems. Jay Leeming sees ordinary things in extraordinary ways and makes connections that startle and inspire. His poetry is accessible; you don't need to be an English major to appreciate it, but his craft provides much for an English major to admire.
