Perfect Balance between Sensual and Educational...,
This review is from: lavish Lines/luscious Lies (Paperback)
This book was a fantastic read. In her poetry the author brings forward and evokes a very stirring sense of drawing the reader into her world where she sees bold and strong emotions around her. It is a rare thing that modern poetry will let someone walk into the mind and thoughts of an individual who is a lover, mother and partner but above all a strong woman.
The added bonus in this for me was that as the author shifted the styles she put forward, she would define the styles in pieces so that you could understand what she was trying to do with the structure of the words beyond evoking the emotional feel you got from what she poured onto the pages. So for students who want to learn how to write poetry this was an educational primer as well. We should look to this book and I would recommend it as it both teaches how poetry should be written in terms of style but more importantly shows people how they can open themselves emotionally through the words on the page. Nicely done...

Where there's smoke there's fire,
By Christopher_Brent (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: lavish Lines/luscious Lies (Paperback)
After having read this book of poetry I am convinced there are some things about poetry I had missed. Saadia has variety and style! From 'Kyrielle' in which she describes an inability to 'resist temptation' to 'February' an allusion to temptation,to 'Sandwiches' as she cuts the crust from bread for her boys. This is not just your everyday book of poems. When it smokes, it's with sensuality..... when it burns,it's with reality, and she displays a depth that is simply amazing. She cuts directly to the core with such simple statements. Ms. Aschemann your fine education shows. I will purchase this book again and again as a wonderful gift for friends whom I know will truly enjoy it as I myself do.

Two Thumbs and Two Big Toes way Up!,
By T.W. (Chicago, Il.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: lavish Lines/luscious Lies (Paperback)
I'm personally not much of a poetry reader; I'm a news and information junkie. Usually if the material doesn't inform me I'm immediately bored, but this book captured and captivated me. Sometimes I felt like she was talking to me, and sometimes I felt like she was talking about me. The poem Jack Daniels took me back to a time in my life that I'm not very proud of, and the poem Unfinished is the pure genius that all creative beings strive for, but seldom reach. Two Sides is the game of cat and mouse that keeps us young at heart, but creates the confusion that ages our soul. I could go on and on, but then I'd be Fishing. To sum it up, this is a great book for information junkies, because sometimes it's better to stop the flow of info, and allow yourself to be captivated. This book is like a quick weekend getaway, and we all know how good that can be. I give this wonderful effort Two Thumbs and Two Big Toes way Up.
