Announcing Two New Brilliant Poetry Books by Emile Pinet

Blog Posted by Connie Marcum Wong: 12/22/2017 1:12:00 AM

Dear Poetry Soup Members,                                                 December 21, 2017

 

It is my pleasure to announce that one of ourmost talented members, Emile Pinet,  has just published a book of his poetry. It has 386 pages of pure delight!  Emile's book may be purchased at:  Amazon.com(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/141-2991596-2574245?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=emile+pinet%27s+fragmented+feeling A second  book “Scattered Thought’s by Emile J. Pinet” will be on sale in about one week as well.

 

I am privileged to have a copy of both books. Each have about 385 poems included, that are some of the best poetry you will read anywhere. Those of you who are familiar with Emile’s

Poetry will agree, and those of you who do not know of his talented pen are in for a real

treat.

 

In his book “Fragmented Feelings”  I was in awe of his imagery of beauty as only Emile can provide in his inimitable style as in “Innocence In Paradise”.  Excerpt:

“As two hearts intermingle

Separate silhouettes merge.

And sharing body and soul

Sexual desires converge.”

 

Another poem that really moved me was “The Ghost Dance” also from “Fragmented Feelings

Excerpt:

“The earth will be covered with soil

Burying the devils with white skins.

And on that soil grows a sea of grass

Where restoration of hope begins.”
 

 

I was deeply moved by his profound poem “Heaven’s A Sanctuary” in Scattered Thoughts.  Emile’s nature poems shine with the brilliance of the sun and will romance you with the enchantment of the magnificent moon.  Excerpt from his beautiful ‘Weeping Willow’ also in Scattered Thoughts:

 

“She stands beaten and bent

Looking exhausted and spent.

And like Medusa’s locks

Her coiffure sometimes shocks.”

 

Emile’s poetry will take you on an inspiring journey in which you will find hours passing before you are able to put his book down. This is what happened to me. I can’t think of a finer gift

to give another poet, or anyone who enjoys poetry, than either one of these books!


I wish you every success in the sales of your books Emile. Congratulations my friend! Happy

Holidays and many blessings, Connie Marcum Wong

I have "Fragmented Feelings" right next to me now, Connie. The look and feel of it is so nice. The formatting with one centered poem per page is just beautiful and I really like the way he put reference notes at the back of the book to describe the forms he was using.

I agree Andrea. My copies are lying on my bed and I read from them when it is quiet. Having one poem per page celebrates each one! I really hope his books sell well. Happy Holidays! : )
