Receiving the first review for a newly minted book is an edgy event. Anticipation and anxiety all mixed together.
I am delighted (and a little relieved) to welcome the first review of my newest release – Voices (In The Trash) by Li (from Tao Talk).
I was delighted to read her thoughts and summation of Voices.
If you would like to know what the book is all about, check out her review here.
The e-book (below) is currently available to pre-order, while the paperback and hardcover editions have been released (but are not yet linked to the e-book, for some uniquely Amazonian reason).

Frank so glad you saw the review at Goodreads. I tried to leave it at amazon but it wouldn’t let me. Instead of writing a separate post with my review at tao-talk, I will reblog this. I *LOVED* your book.

Amazon are being difficult, Lisa.
The paper editions have been released, and I understand that reviews can be attached to them, as a result. Amazon hasn’t yet linked them with the e-book, though. Which is a little irritating.
The ebook listing won’t accept a review until after release date.
This is where the paper editions are residing: https://www.amazon.com/Voices-Trash-Picture-Poetry-Book/dp/192596308X/
Ignore the price they show. I listed the paperback at US$16.99. Happy to arrange sale and delivery in the US from a little later this week if anyone would like.

Reblogged this on Tao Talk and commented:
I just reviewed Frank Prem’s newest book. If you want to be inspired to joy in hearing the voices of an assorted group of items found in a thrift shop, please think about buying this book. Would also make a great gift for someone you care about.

Andrea, thank you.
It’s a strange time. I seem to be paying my dues to all the writing I’ve ever done.
No harm in it, I don’t suppose.
I’m hoping to have the next iteration of the cielonaut in my hands this week. Quite excited about that.

I’m certainly able to do much much more than when I began in late 2018, Andrea.
Non-stop learning curve since then.

Gradual improvement in these side areas that writing takes me, Andrea. Picture poetry demands better pictures.

Picture poetry. Is that a real label or did you make it up. If you did, it’s a brilliant description of your poetry, both in terms of its format and the ‘pictures’ it pains.

Not sure if it is out there, or not Andrea. I just use it for my stuff, and am starting to use it on books, where I can.
Another one I toyed with – for an imprint was ‘really-surreally’. Chuckled over that one.
