Through what I see as 8 versions of her self, Christy reveals 8 versions of my self.

Yes, her metaphors are cunning, and her near rhymes, feet & other poetic abilities are alluring,

  However, it is her ability to stay focused on the self that make these poems very special & simply personally meaningful.

BTW, the concept of “Versions” itself, is poetry! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Silence Louder Than A Train

Dean J. Baker, writer extraordinaire, penned the poetry  Silence Louder Than A Train

Dean’s 20/10 visions break bold, clever, sarcastic, cynical, brutally honest, bare faced, bare-soul, telling off, alone, deeply passionate & extremely vivid visually.

STrain #2

The poetry left me pensive, painted into a corner, or suddenly wrapped with a loving arm (crying out loud) , or dropped into a comedy (laughing out loud).

 STrain #6

As I read, Dean’s words kept coming at me, relentlessly, with increasing  speed. I couldn’t put the book down; I read poems to anyone who would listen.

STrain #4

Dean’s style is rebellious. Capitals, punctuation, starts, ends and rhymes are where he wants them to be. His consummate skill works it all beautifully. So just read on without expecting a period at the end

STrain #3

When I reached the end, I began reading the book from back to front.

STrain #5

Then I was at the beginning again.

  I very recently bought my first Dean J. Baker book for Kindle, Poetry & How It Gets That Way. I own 4 more of Dean’s titles, all in paperback.

Silence front

In my humble opinion, Dean J. Baker is a writer most worth reading.
