COMMENTS & REVIEWS ON ' POEMS FOR PAULA '

REVIEW: (Poems For Paula)21/06/2008 by
' Saly Patricia Gardner ' Author of:
' Lillian's Story '
It is the sheer diversity of Tom's work that takes your breath away.This is graphically illustrated by the first and last poems.'The Det' takes you to a situation that, thank God, most of us have never had to face, and leaves you wondering how you would have coped. Less bravely, then and afterwards, I suspect. 'The Missing Sock' with its wit and humour is a wonderful cheery,cheeky finish to this collection. And in between? All life (and death)is here.Tom's struggles with the demon cancer, (long may he go on winning this battle!),his military experiences, and shining through the collection, his love for Paula. Tom writes beautifully and honestly, with a rare ability to illuminate large topics with a sideways glance at the small everyday incidents to which we all relate. Thank you, Tom.        http://www.lilliansstory.co.uk


Comments:      Having read this book and previous works by this versalite author, I now think that he has found his niche in poetry writing in the manner of all the great war poets saying it as it is/was clearly and truthfully, by seeing and being there at the time. This is a book which contains all the aspects of life as a veteran, often with humour. I treasure my copy. ( Poems for Paula)

Review:           Jan Hedger 19/06/2008 ( Poems for Paula )
A book of many faces - from despair and loss, to wickedly funny humour. A poetry book to adorn any book shelf - Tom Mcgreevy has captured life itself and more.

 
Review:        Karen Palumbo 18/06/2008 ( Poems for Paula)
Such inner perseverance and a very optimistic outlook combined with prayers and God's love will see you through to spend every minute of every day in the embrace of those you love. Very passionately e

A powerful and moving poem, Tom. I admire the writing. The best thing we can do for those young men and women left behind is to stop these bloody wars. Now. - Gene Williamson   ( In Poems for Paula )

This is what our recently-published authors think :     "Very helpful getting my manuscript into Microsoft Word and helping me with the English. I never thought I'd ever see my name on a book. I just couldn't have done it without your help." Peter Goggins   "The Journey to Irwell Springs"   Biography & Memoirs     "I was impressed with the quality of the book, the paper is good quality and so is the cover. All in all I'm pleased I chose your company." Craig Cowell   "Muddy Sunday"   Biography & Memoirs     "My novel had been sent to mainstream publishers but I never got an acknowledgement never mind anything else. It was wonderful to see my writing 'brought to life' as it were by the publishing process. I felt very proud giving copies to my children. I'd just like to say a big thank you to Rossendale Books." Michael Walsh  "The Hatstand"   Novelist     "I only submitted 30 poems to begin with but I was encouraged to dig-out some of my older work. They were very patient and helped me all along the way. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone, like me, who had thought getting their poems published was never going to happen. Thanks again." Louise Martin   "Somewhere we go"   Poet     "I have now utilised the services of Rossendale Books to publish two of my novels. They have managed to cope with all that I have thrown at them and I am pleased with the resulting books. Their service has been prompt and efficient." Leslie Wilkie   "The Golden Gnome" & "The Felicity Factor"   Novelist
