Poems of Wisdom and Wonder Antonia Alexandra klimenko Ernest Slyman's poetry does not make you laugh so much as smile deeply from within. His poems are wrought of wry wisdom and wonder and an immense spirit that soars beyond the page. Light humor, dark humor, tall tales, short tales, folk tales--he dazzles on a high wire without a net. His words-- . Gail R. Tomlins said I just want a good old fashioned chuckle. Dont you?. Simply, Mr Slyman writes and I smile. I feel good. In this day of fast, robotic and commercialized literaturelolwell I just want a good giggle. So buy the book. I do not have kindle because I am a damn snob and insist on real books I can hold. But buy all those as well. Love this.. Poems to make you cry and mourn. Fabulous, visceral. Beautifully written , as though all the poets in history had had a hand in the making of this book.Don't be out off by the presentation. This is not amateur work but great work. Just don't expect to laugh a lot, you'll also weep for humankind and cheer us on.
