Five Star Review

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2022

In his newly-published collection of poems, Jeff teaches us how the human heart, mind, and soul are intimately connected with the natural order. All the pain, sorrow, and happiness which are part of the human experience can be offset and complemented by the awe-inspiring beauty and wonder of nature. WE ARE ONE with the natural world, and Jeff expresses this beautifully through his poetic vision:
"pausing to breathe
fireflies come in a whisper, a wide grin
cascades over the clouds, revealing
the stars' hearts."
Jeff is a regular contributor to MasticadoresIndia, MasticadoresUSA, and Spillwords Press.

Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow made me stop on a busy day and take a sip of coffee to read a piece or two. To allow myself to be transported under a willow or a cherry tree, relax by the seas, surrounded by lavender blossoms...these poems encompass nature, love, and loss.

Nature Speaks is a gem of a book! The poems offer a wonderfully nature-centric perspective that is desperately lacking in our modern day culture. I absolutely love this book! These poems are beautiful and truly speak to me. This collection has an uncanny ability to connect with people through love and exploration of nature, which all comes through in Jeff's writing. I truly enjoy reading these magical poems since they have a beautiful way of painting serene pictures for my enjoyment. I highly recommend it

Nature speaks through this poet!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2022

I was immediately drawn to this collection by the gorgeous cover. The book further invites with a personal letter from the poet that offers a hint of the poet's background and inspiration for this collection. The overall aesthetic of the book is pleasing. The poems, that calm the mind, can be consumed in one lazy afternoon or over several days. Either way, the reader will want to return again for a dose of inspiration. Nature Speaks would make an excellent gift for nature lovers and those who appreciate hopeful messages. I highly recommend this collection!

Jeff's poetry is like a walk with a friend at dawn. He weaves earthy images with heartfelt emotions to create a beautiful tapestry of wonder. From his first poem "Neutral Stances," which admits to mysteries of the heart, we take a journey through love and loss--"Ocean and Sand"--breathing in the scents and sounds of the natural world, until we come to a place where we glimpse the radiance of hope. Jeff transforms a simple "Blueberry Tree" into memory's healing power. From great tumult, "Blooming Tears," comes great peace, "Mystical Rain." Nestled within the sheltering trees and floral breezes, he transports us to a realm of magic--"The Sweetest Lullaby"-- which is available to anyone who opens their eyes and heart to drink in nature's lessons. "Moments Grasped" is the perfect finale. Illuminating!

A dance in poetic song!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

Jeff Flesch's well-presented poetic ensemble Nature Speaks, vibrates human emotion with nature as its membrane.
It draws the reader into the connectedness between feelings and experiences in/with/among who we are and are becoming.

Jeff Flesch's talented gaze at human brokenness and the joy seeping
through love and life, lifts the reader through nature's lens unto fervent hope.

One of my many favorites from this adept collection resonates with this aspect of nature's parabolic lens; a lens that reveals what lies in one's heart, bubbling up ever so gently, through a walk among the trees.

I found the following a summative glimpse into the poet's perspective, which I think the reader will enjoy. That nature is a reminder of the primal nature to which all life belongs. It is that place of respite from the shackles of the everyday grind.

Therefore the line in "Self Bloom" which reads: "I dance to the tune of the moon learning more about nature," does that for me. What imagery and solace abounds in that swath of poetry!

The reader will not be disappointed (I think) with "Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow: Poems by Jeff Flesch" either as a companion at the end of a day, or as an early morning meditation song.

Overall, I relished reading these poems as a "dance" to the tune of nature's heart song
wrapped in hugs.

This book is a magical gift to this world. Jeff's words impart so much hope and positivity. As soon as I read the Readers Page, I knew that I was going to fall in love with this lovely book. The beautifully mended poems portray several human emotions along with establishing a connection with nature. Author's style of writing is very engaging and impressive. The imagery is so perfect that I was feeling every single verse written in this book. Poem titles are very unique and suitable. Every single poem written by the author has its own depth and beauty. This book has won a place in my heart and in my 'Favorites' Collection. I found so many verses relatable, Jeff's words spoke to my heart. I loved how the author has expressed real life experiences connecting with nature in such a beautiful way. Almost every poem is beyond beautiful, my few favorites include 'Cherry Trees' 'Sea and Spirit' 'Moments Grasped' 'Butterfly Love' 'Hearth And Home' 'Mountains Gold' I feel so happy that Jeff wrote and shared this absolutely magnificent book with readers. This book deserves so much love and appreciation. Great work done. I wish lots of love and success to this amazing author. This book is a must read. I would recommend this to everyone ❤

Poetry that moves you-- makes you feel something like an overflow

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on September 18, 2022

In reading Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow by Author Jeff Flesch, at times, I moved like the wind susurrating to a tree; at others, my soul overflowed and crashed like a wave— my heart pulsed excitedly and smiled. Could be the nature theme, could be the words.

The words, yes, the words!

The author's words recalibrate heart and soul, and if I had to choose just one poem to encapsulate what I mean, it would be “The Ocean’s Rocks.” I love the ending line, “love forms the center of our poetry.”

There is much sorrow in Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow by Author Jeff Flesch, but the author finds a way of stirring us out of that dark place and into the love that abides in nature. Kudos! As we all know, love is the thing that makes the journey whole and worth it.

The poems are short, but each packs a beautiful cadence in the brevity and simplicity of the author’s vocabulary. And the freedom in the lineation of free verse poetry added to its charm— giving me time to visualize. This ‘permission to pause’ endeared me to this poet’s crisp style.

Each poem ends in a blissful place which translates to each ending putting me in a better place.

So glad I purchased the printed format. Touching it transports me to a good place.
In closing, it was hard to read this lovely poetry collection and not nod in agreement: the world would be a better place if we could all see through Author Jeff Flesch’s eyes. I cannot wait to read more by this author.

5-star. I highly recommend it—Selma in Japan.
