Three egos all speaking truths from the soul make Pierre Sutton's first book remarkable. Anyone who reads Soul Rebuttals will be drawn into the honesty, wisdom and realness of Petey, P'danzig, and Pierre's character. His style and presentation is refreshing and the perspectives in the book are enlightening. I highly recommend this book; once you pick it up you will not want to put it down. With this work Pierre is off to a good start and I look forward to his next book, but I wonder can the old soul of a young man get any deeper?

Soul Rebuttals is a collection of poetry by Pierre Sutton which ponders the
emotions of some of life's most perplexing issues. Sutton digs below the
surface of problems and tries to uncover the underlying issues and raw human
emotions that exist at the roots.

He explores a myriad of issues that range from religion and spirituality, drug
abuse, unwed pregnancy, love and betrayal. Inclusive in the collection is a
short story, Sight and Seeing, which is broken into three parts and tells the
story of three troubled souls. The story is told in three parts by each of
the characters. Sight and Seeing is a sad tale of betrayal and loneliness.

Pierre Sutton has a flare for descriptions and metaphors which explode from
almost every entry in the collection. It appears that Sutton is trying to
evoke thought and emotion from readers . However, at times his abundance of description and metaphor leaves the reader wondering what his point is. That
aside, Soul Rebuttals is a respectable collection of poetry.

I recently just finished reading Soul Rebuttals and I must say, Pierre Sutton is a very young and gifted writer. I was thoroughly expressed by his sense of consciousness in poems like 'Chicago Times', "Between the Cracks" and "Elevation". I simply loved the Aimless Amos poems, they remind me so much of myself and people I know. The Sight and Seeing short story was definitely interesting and gripping. I read the other review by HonestD and I do agree that 'Sight and Seeing' is a kind of sad at times but it is also very uplifting and optmistic, especially the one which showcases the character Barren Deluse. All in all an astounding first effort!

The just recently brought Soul Rebuttals and I absolutely loved it. I was totally blown away by how beautifully and vivid the poems were and how engaging the Sight and Seeing stories were. My favorite poems were Elevation, the three Aimless Amos poems. Most definitely a must have book. Congratulations Pierre and I can't wait until your next book.

I simply loved this book, Put this one next to your langston hughes collection. Amazing first effort.
