Book Review – Twisted Blend of Wild by Jon Perry

Posted on June 3, 2021 by tara caribou

I read this book in paperback. This is a unsolicited review.

My Thoughts:

Mr. Perry’s full length book of poetry is by far my favorite of all his books to date…. and I loved his others. He is imaginative, creative, and clearly a deep-thinking yet whimsical man.

While some of the work is contained within another of his books, this one has more content. He includes his own artwork which may be photography or digital artwork, even a few pen drawings. It all makes for an excellent collection. You never know what you’re going to get when you turn the page. Sometimes it’s sweet love poetry, sometimes it’s whimsy and fantastical poetry which tells a story, sometimes it’s a little sad or melancholic. All of it is good. From the downright silly (and sometimes strange) chapter of “Brain Drano”, which is just that… lots of little snippets and thoughts drained from a many-layered mind to my personal favorite chapter: “Letters” which contains nine letters written from the Poet to himself. Sometimes a bit harsh with himself and sometimes quite complimentary.

I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. Highly recommended to those who enjoy whimsical poetry and art which is layered with depth of emotions we all feel. Excellent work.

My Overall Score:

5/5 stars
Gains: excellent imagery, I loved the title, perfect length (for avid readers like myself), well put together and thought out

  Sweet! If you check out his book “Snug” there’s a portrait he did of me in there 😉. It was something where he did a bunch of Instagram poets and I was honored he asked if he could include mine! Very cool (IMO). 💕

Pleased to see you’ve been enjoying your reading, Tara. For some reason try as I may, I can never find your latest blog post. Where do I go on your website? I like your site; it’s just the navigation. Have a good weekend.

  Oh!! I’ll look into that. It should be easily available but I went and made some changes, so it could be a little hidden. I’ll look into that today and get back to you.
