After years of decline, poetry is once again regaining its rightful place in the field of popular art and entertainment. This growth has been spurred on by the advent of social networking, which has made it possible for groups of poets to emerge, led by poets who are confident and at ease with their art. One among these is author Alan Gilbert. Way beyond Words: Poetry on Reflection is Gilbert’s fourth book of poetry-a collection of poems covering a myriad of feelings and emotions. Gilbert has been influenced by the romantic poets as well as more con-temporary writers such as Phillip Larkin. He has developed a unique way of exploring evocative poetry in his range and style. Rejecting the obscure language that has deterred readers in the past in favour of poetry that speaks to the soul, Gilbert has created artful poems that hold an immediate, powerful appeal and evoke intense feelings. Examining topics from love lost to a brightly shooting star, the poetry in Way beyond Words seeks to inspire all to explore the wide range of human emotions.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
