Hello, lovely people. Today I have another review to share and hope you give it
your sweet attention and lots of love. I say this because, like me, I understand
this is blogger Jane Aguiar’s first book under her name.
One thing I’ve learned from my recent book launch is that the competition is
fierce–as is to be expected–and at the end of the day one needs to know that
her besties are cheering her on.
So from one blogger to another, I ask that you lend support to our blogger friend
who could use a helping hand.
Dynamic Minds by Jane Aguiar is on Amazon India:
For some reason, WordPress is not accepting my embed for a preview, so I’ll ask
you to hunt it down at Amazon.in my friends or contact Jane herself at her website.
I was able to post my review of this book on Goodreads, so that’s another place
to look.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Each poem of mine is a silvery white silk feather. I write my creations, perspectives,
imaginations, feelings, emotions, and muse’s thoughts. In this book, you will find
different syllabic poetic forms, rhyming, and alliteration with iambic meter. Poetry
works like a medicine for people in pain by reducing feelings of isolation and
depression. Poetry also boosts your mood and improves your vocabulary. All the
poetries in this book include our feelings and emotions revealing the little fights
between our heart and mind. Also, these poem forms are easy to learn. My poems
may help not only youngsters but also people of all age groups to learn more
about these poetry forms.
ABOUT JANE AGUIAR
Jane Aguiar is a popular blogger here on WordPress,
and we love her. She says:
Being a Science student I developed an interest in Literature. I have completed my Bachelor in Science and Bachelor in Education. I am a working woman now who started poetry as a hobby. I have been writing syllabic poetic forms, free verse poetry, poetry prose, hymns, rhymes, and flash fiction. Each poem of mine is a silvery white silk feather. I write my creations, perspectives, imaginations, feelings, emotions, and muses thoughts. I got inspired by my other friends who are poets. Writing poetry built my confidence and helped me to learn a lot of new things. After gaining so much experience and confidence I took a step forward by publishing this book. I wish to have a book by my name in the libraries. All the poetries in this book include our feelings and emotions revealing the little fights between our heart and mind. Also, these poem forms are easy to learn. My poems may help not only youngsters but also people of all age groups to learn more about these poetry forms. I believe that poetry also works as a medicine for people in pain, it inspires people.

MY REVIEW
DYNAMIC Minds, by Jane Aguiar, is a truly fascinating poetry chapbook that one
can read from start to finish in one sitting. It’s very short and begs for repeat
readings. The pages are full of syllabic poetic forms–some I know and others
I don’t but, for sure, the rhythm of each is melodic and tender. This made me
believe that this author has a tender soul.
In the preface, the author tells me that she wishes to have her poetry collection
in libraries and I can surely see how this is possible for her. Each poem in this
collection speaks to the heart and certainly reveals, (as in her own words) “the
little fights between our heart and mind.” What a beautiful thing to say, as we,
young or old, all have instances where our hearts and minds are at odds with
each other.
These poems by Jane Aguiar transported me into myself: this is the beauty of
poetry and the best part of having such a book in one’s hands is that one can
read over and over and feel connected to someone whose words resonate with
our human-ness. I resonated deeply (and not in a romantic sense) with a stanza
in Fingers Intertwined: I want to/feel you and fill/the/distance and spaces/in
between// –I feel that this thought is universal. Oh, if only we could fill the
distance between us in our minds. I love it.
The author captivated me again in State of Love: Let’s keep/away the clouds/
of darkness and always/feel the presence of mind and state/of love// –Yes,
please, I say. Let’s stay in a state of love always, please.
I know and love the Senryu form and on page 15. Incomparable we are gifted a
beautiful Senryu series. I invite you to read it as I adore what she wrote about the
moon. Thank you.
Finally, I will leave you with one last cluster of words I loved in this lovely short
book: From birth to birth, the mind seeks a destination/Although contented in
imagination/Struggles to get close in origination// –but to see the whole collection,
I encourage you to get a copy of this lovely book, DYNAMIC Minds, by Jane Aguiar so
you can choose your favorite lines too. I am glad I read this book.
Thanks for being here, my friends.
Happy Holidays.

You’re welcome. Jane.
Thanks for sharing, Selma. I notice most people here in WordPress really help each other out and that’s what I love about it.
It’s amazing indeed. It’s a great community
May that never change.
That’s why it’s fair to say that one author’s success is everyone’s success: a good model for a working society. 👏🏽
Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for sharing, definitely very enticing!
<> I agree. Beautiful.
Tried to quote a passage in preface to this remark! This one: [“the
little fights between our heart and mind.” What a beautiful thing to say, as we,
young or old, all have instances where our hearts and minds are at odds with
each other. ]
This sounds like a delightful chapbook! Thank you for the recommendation, Selma 🙏😊
