The Small Step Journey

by Chris Parsons

From the Author: I sincerely hope that you enjoy these poems as much as I did writing them. I hope they take you, via your memories and imagination on journeys. I hope you collect not only smiles but tears as you read, for if you do, then I have succeeded in what I set out to do.

If you are looking for poetry about the lesbian experience, I can definitely recommend this book. The imagery is evocative, and the experiences widely varied. The author is particularly adept at using meaningful metaphors that make you pause to savor the words. A delightful read!

The Small Step Journey captures moments along the path of life. Some is love poetry, some of it is not. I particularly like the notes at the end of select poems where the Author explains why a poem was created. It helped my understanding of the Author’s mind-set.

The Small Step Journey speaks of an inner path, successfully captured in words. It spans love in its myriad of forms, it tries to capture cancer and the aftermaths, and numerous other topics such as wars, or rather, the history of it eons later. It is the first published book by this Author and deserves a decent review. It is a good book.
