Today, I want to share my thoughts on a remarkable poetry collection, Poetic License: Reflections and Renderings by Lawrence L. Schwartz, or as I proudly call him, Larry. Larry kindly sent me a copy of his book for an honest review. So, let’s dive into the world of Larry’s poetic brilliance!
What struck me the most about Poetic License was Larry’s universal outlook toward poetry. He has a unique way of bridging the gap between poetry enthusiasts and those who typically shy away from the genre. Larry once said, “I often say that my poetry is more for people who don’t necessarily like poetry.” This sentiment immediately resonated with me, as I usually don’t gravitate toward poetry books. But Larry’s words proved to be a revelation, inviting me to explore his collection with an open mind and a renewed curiosity.
Larry’s poems are deeply rooted in his personal experiences, often drawing inspiration from spiritual insights. Throughout the last couple of decades, he has crafted verses that reflect his exploration of Eastern metaphysical philosophy and interfaith concepts, all while celebrating our shared humanity. His profound understanding and incorporation of these ideas make his poetry rich with wisdom and contemplation.
As I delved into Poetic License, I found myself utterly captivated by the divine essence woven into each poem. Larry’s words seem to echo from a higher realm, whispering insights that touch the very core of our existence. It’s a testament to his ability to channel his spirituality and translate it into words that resonate with readers on a deeply profound level.
Larry’s collection showcases his versatility as a poet. From concise, six-lined poems like “A Trick of Mind” to expansive and intricate pieces such as “Recollection,” he effortlessly navigates various forms and structures. This diversity keeps the reading experience engaging, as you never know what delightful surprises await you on the next page.
For those interested in getting their hands on Poetic License: Reflections and Renderings, it’s readily available on Amazon, where you can find both the printed version and a Kindle edition. US-based readers can also order the printed book directly from IPBooks.net. So, there are plenty of options to choose from to embark on this poetic journey.
In conclusion, Poetic License: Reflections and Renderings is an exquisite collection that transcends the boundaries of traditional poetry. Larry’s universal outlook, spiritual insights, and his ability to strike a chord with readers who might not typically explore poetry make this collection truly special. Each poem is a gateway to divine reflections and offers a profound connection with the beauty of the written word.
So, my dear friends, if you’re ready to embark on a journey that will expand your horizons and touch your soul, I wholeheartedly recommend Poetic License: Reflections and Renderings by Lawrence L. Schwartz. Prepare to be inspired, enlightened, and moved by Larry’s poetic genius.
Happy reading!
