Nova by Joanne Van Leerdam

5 Stars

Masterpiece poetry

The book intrigued me when the author was nominated for one of my Best

Indie Titles of 2017 awards on my author blog, and the author was nice enough to share the story with me for a review. I love a good poem. I think of a good poem as one that pulls in the reader, and invokes emotion, shows and makes the reader feel something, and see life through the eyes of the poet. Van Leerdam is one remarkable poet. I was drawn in immediately by the first and title poem "Nova" and it only got better from there. The words bring a light of life and show the reader how the author feels, invoking emotion within this reader. Bravo. Each page turning revealed the next poem. One of the other poems that brought me in was "Blue". It was short and to the point, and luring. Again, I must repeat myself, masterpiece poetry.
