Review by Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Mark C. Lloyd for providing me this book so I bring you this review.

Mark C. LLoyd’s Unfinished Suite: Poetry and Pose truly blew me away. I will be honest I don’t usually review poetry books but Mark is from WNY-and-I was curious. I am so glad I did.

I laughed that he wrote in his dedication about to all the people who just don’t get him and then he left it blank.

He mentions in his dedication that many of his loved ones have passed away and he is missing them. That comes out so strongly in many of his poems. You can feel the deep emotions he is feeling as the words leap off the page.

Having met this author, I laughed at his poem Unfinished Suite! He does have a poet’s voice with a comedic face! You would never ever know by reading these poems in this book what a sentimental, loving, passionate, and so in tuned to his feelings and emotions he is.

One thing I loved about his poetry is that he wrote about his hometown of Buffalo, NY. I too am from Buffalo and was happy to see familiar landmarks mentioned.

There is a section of the book for sexual poetry. We the readers get to see a whole new side to Mark in this section.
