5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling!!!, January 22, 2006
This review is from: Towards Understanding (Paperback)
"Mrs. Brummet takes you on a journey of her past life, a life that she worked hard at to stay afloat. I must say that during my reading of Towards Understanding, I realized that Lillian was able to touch on real feelings and real issues that are in our everyday lives. Her poetry makes you think, painting a picture of that moment she is describing. One of my favorites, Survivor, reveals her inner strength with honesty. Towards Understanding is written with determination and reverence. Spilling her heart in words, Lillian shows that she is a fighter. A fighter, who endures several rounds and makes it a point to get back up, and face another challenge."

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed reading this book!, December 7, 2005

This review is from: Towards Understanding (Paperback)
'Towards Understanding' by Lillian Brummet is an absorbing and interesting collection of poetry, which displays the author's great depth of emotion. This book takes the reader on Lillian's journey of self-discovery. Her choice of words allow for the perfect visuals. I got a clear sense of her inner turmoil at the beginning of the book, as she so honestly expresses herself with skilled writing ability. As the poetry evolved chronologically, I was able to feel her personal growth. I enjoyed reading this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, December 2, 2005
This review is from: Towards Understanding (Paperback)
"There is but a child in me, waiting to escape. To see the wonders of the world, And rid herself of hate" writes Lillian Brummet, in the poem "Trapped", which illustrates a longing for the love she had not experienced during childhood. Lillian is a free-lance writer and her first full-length book of poetry entitled, Towards Understanding, adequately reflects this collection of poems in its entirety... Every poem is a journal - a poetic diary that deals with trials and overcoming strife. Her muses genuinely articulate anger, love, disappointment, friendship and endeavors to understand others. Lillian's style of writings consists of mostly rhyme with a touch of free verse. My personal favorite is "Bad Weather", not only because she cleverly uses nature as a metaphor to depict her mood, but also because she showed superb use of imagery when describing how gloom becomes tangled in her hair. This book is organized in chronological order according to the year in which the work was written. Those who like reading poetry that questions society and depicts true life experiences will enjoy this book of poetry."
