MY LIFE AS ADAM reviewed in POETS AND ARTISTS MAGAZINE
by Bryan Borland
In a two-page spread in the October issue of Poets and Artists, Grady Harp says:
“Bryan Borland’s first book of his poems, MY LIFE AS ADAM, is his life and he owns it, a life of sensing, noticing, yearning for the bite of the forbidden apple where the fruit has been distorted by religions and codices of human behavior in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent him from acceptance of what he intuited would be beautiful. It is this journey to date he sensitively shares – like that little beggar along the path who smiles at our sheckles and says thank you in a way that changes us – permanently.”
Thank you Mr. Harp and Poets and Artists!
…so sweet, and so very nice…congratulations…
Thanks 1poet4man! I was very humbled by the review, and the magazine looks great. I mean, the host of Jeopardy is on the cover.
An excellent review for an excellent book…I read it on my way to Tunisia and realized while flying I couldn’t email you say how wonderful I thought it was…so now I’m telling you.
(I won’t tell you that you DID give me the gift of kind words immediately upon your return from Tunisia – because I love to read those kind words multiple times!
)
Congrats my friend- in spite you do not visit my blog anymore
LOL- I know, a popular man, is a busy man…
Love ya, Chef E Stelling

Mae West,
I do, too. And I also added you to my links section, which I am slowing but surely building back. But I have to write a few sentences about everyone I add, so it is taking forever!
Congratulations!
(Bought your book a few minutes ago, and reading it on Adobe Digital Editions right now.)
Philip! Thank you so much for purchasing the book! You’ll have to let me know what you thought of it. I sincerely appreciate your support. This writer has no words to adequately express how much.
Congrats, Bryan! Sums up your work wonderfully! Sent you a photo while I was camping. I thought you might like it, but we were in Appalachia, so it may not have made it out.
Tel,
I didn’t get it! The mountains must have swallowed it whole. Try it again!
Oh my, that’s too bad. I’ve tried resending this morning. Hope it comes through. It has Hanky Code written all over it.
That’s eloquent and well-deserved praise, my friend. He’s right, y’know.
*blushes*
That’s terrific news! I bet you will be racking up those good reviews
Why thank you, Oh Princess of Tides!
Congrats, Bryan!!
Thanks, Rachel!
