This review is from: Voices from Within (Paperback)
Voices From Within is a collection of poetry contributed by some of the best poets that you may have never heard of. All of the contributors (and there are nearly 35 varied voices represented within) are professors affiliated with the Dallas County Communty College District. The DCCCD has long had a strong, local reputation for employing some of the most talented writers in Dallas and this collection proves it. (Yes, believe it or not, there actually is more to Dallas than just money and Cowboys.) The poetry within ranges from the political protests of Rene Castilla to the cultural musings of Jerry McElveen to the humorously insightful revelations of everyday experiences contributed by Debra Galliher (who, along with McElveen, ranks as my personal favorite amongst the various voices to be found within this book). As a Dallasite who spent two wonderful semesters within the DCCCD, reading this collection was almost like a family reunion to me; a chance to hear from old friends whose insights I've been sadly missing out on for the last couple of years. However, for other readers out there, this book represents a chance to discover some very talented artists that, otherwise, might not be heard. This book is highly recommended to anyone with a love for poetry and a desire to discover something new.
