When I heard that James L. Finley was planning to publish a poetry book I was very excited. I couldn’t wait to hold his book in my hands. I couldn’t wait to dive inside and indulge in his poetry. I had read his poetry before and knew that he would not disappoint and he did not. His book is amazing!!!
I am amazed by his talent. Not only does he affect you with his words but he also leaves you thinking. You are left with a lasting impression after reading his poetry and you are left wanting more. He is the king of metaphor and allegory. Besides that, he is able to tackle any poetic form and nail it from start to finish. And it looks so effortless. He doesn’t overwhelm you with emotion. He has just enough of it to make you feel and bring forth your own emotions to the poetry you are reading.
A talent like that deserves to be in print and deserves to be heard around the world. His words are very effective and they leave us thinking. His poetry is not fluff. It’s got depth, it’s got meaning, it’s got soul—–everything great poetry should have.
Wandering Wounds is James L. Finley's first poetry book. He also has five chapbooks in his Chapbooks of Life poetry series, which is available on Amazon. They are written under the author name J. L. Finley.
