Poetry is Tough (Review of “Keepers of the Shrine” by Andrew Marshall, Jr.)

I’ve been meaning to do this for a LONG while.  Barnes and Noble.com will let you write a review of anything that they sell, but they have to approve what you write.  Well, they have approved my review of Andrew Marshall, Jr.’s, Keepers of the Shrine and initially I was ecstatic.  Now, I don’t know if it sounds contrived or what.   

If you have a moment, you should click on the hyperlink and read my review.  If you have the money, you should buy the book and read it: especially if you enjoy poetry.  If you know me and are nearby, you can borrow the book and read it and return it to me and let me know what you think of both the book and the review.  I haven’t done anything productive in a long time (I can’t say creative because I didn’t pen a single poem in the book) and I was proud of myself, but how productive is a critique of someone else’s hard work, especially if you’re not getting paid?  And again, how creative, how is writing a review?  Lucrative maybe, under the right cirumstances, but creative?  I don’t know…

(I really have to read and learn how to better manipulate this Roland X6, Lexicon Omega and Cakewalk Home Studio together with this Compaq, or I’m going to go crazy… I can’t keep having these songs just sit otherwise I won’t be able to ask Kayla to create a website and produce and direct a video so I can put it on You Tube.  )     <– Kayla:  Blue Voda!
