The Spirit of the Quest 3: For the Love of the Sky

Micro-review of The Spirit of the Quest 3 written by Nika Renee

This self-published author opts out on numbering her pages to focus on counting the beats of her windblown heart.

Quote: "Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth 'You owe me'. Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky" -- Hafiz

Sustenance: fifty-seven lyrical impressions and 1 lustration rich recipe!

Nika sends a glaring message with her vulnerability. There is no hierarchy to these heartfelt renderings. She thrusts each letter, words, phrase, and poem into life through cogitation, candor, and conceding. She exposes her most intimate hope, heartache, despair and joy! With such lines as, "be willing to be loved again; from pieces torn apart" "protect the ninety nine percent; single moms who can't make rent" and "is there such a difference; between butterfly and moth; one delights in flowers; the other destroys cloth."

Nike Renee does not cower behind exhausted euphemisms but pumps each word like a racing heart to gently expose her inner soul, beat by beat!

My favorites are: Dark Work, 1,950%, Passing Lane, Butterfly and Moth!

The Brutal Telling Written by Louise Penny

AT 503 pages you finally come to see Olivier for what he could really be The Brutal Telling A tale of priceless treasures selling A stranger found dead in Three Pines Someone will have to pay the macabre fines Meanwhile, Gamache is running out of time Going back in the past is how he will solve the crime In the Queen Charlotte Islands he must track For the wood the slain man made was found in a sack And each carving an intricate element of the pack Of precious treasures the killer wanted to take back Quite in contrast All the details were made manifest in the past And the killer was forced to act fast Because he knew his deception would not last In the end most of the town was in disbelief While others felt a measure of strained relief To get the hermit's treasure He had to go to extreme measures And in the end only resulted in eternal displeasure Written by Guest Contributor:  NaTorea Richardson Genre: Mystery/Thriller Suspense

The Apology Written by Eve Ensler

Through this letter of unveiling; a young girl exposed to an empire of despair gains a  modicum  of ablution Created in the voice of her long dead father she articulates the momentous confession he should have  conveyed; not necessarily for retribution The victim is consumed by self-loathing, mental turbulence, and grief While the witness battles against overwhelming doubt and disbelief That the abuser dares to rationalize the lewd & lascivious behavior Implying he lacked control, he misinterpreted, that she was the inevitable traitor The author, Eve, penetrates the veil of sexual and psychological trauma only intimated That most people incorrectly conclude takes one that looks visibly evil to have orchestrated The devastating revelation comes when she gives voice to the cacophony of deleterious effects Culminating from emotional desertion, and unrestrained perversion that went unchecked Her mother and siblings bared witness to her gradual physica...

Talking to Strangers Written by Malcolm Gladwell

This book commences with an introduction to the tragic confrontation between Officer Brian Encinia and Sandra Bland   The traffic stop that resulted in involuntary resignation for Brian and suicide for Sandra 3-days later while in remand   Brian’s actions were challenged in court and excuses and conjecture undoubtedly ensued   Trying to cover up inept behavior and inappropriate practices that lead citizens and the media to imbue   A sense of horror; to feel incredulous and appalled at the injustice that has transpired   How similar experiences could be reenacted across many states in such a highly esteemed empire   Gladwell inspires confidence through personal recollections, historical anecdotes, and scientific based evidence galore   To bring clarity to a disturbing but increasing phenomenon that even the most ardent Pollyanna abhors   He helps us to see that simple outrage does not suffice   Our response to such abuse of ...
