5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry at its best, June 23, 2003

This review is from: Mental Conceptions: A Poet's Dream (Paperback)

The title sets the stage for a very unique poetic approach that Mr. Thornton has so graciously put together, one that will rejuvenate the mind and soul. By any means necessary, MENTAL CONCEPTIONS opens with much to consider as each poem makes deep introspective statements. I enjoyed all the selections and was very impressed with his unique flow of words and the fact that each offering challenges readers to understand what the writer is sharing.

'Silver Bracelets' opens with such spiritual depth that the feeling will stay with me. Rejuvenation, mental awakening, spiritual growth and originality are words that barely describe Andre R. Thornton's book. He has created, as one of his poems is titled, 'A Poet's Dream'. The title MENTAL CONCEPTIONS says it all.

This review is from: Mental Conceptions: A Poet's Dream (Paperback)

In just 80 pages or so, this author manages to take the reader through several emotional phases. This is some of the hottest poetry I have read in some time. I frequent Slam sessions and many of the the poets don't possess any real fire. Well here is the heat. A fresh new voice and creative mind is displayed in this well versed work. This author illustrates in vivid color what was missing from a black and white world. This book is blazin...
