Glenn Lyvers - Midwest Collection

In this masterful assortment of short fiction and poetry, Lyvers exhibits many different writing styles. What results is an eclectic collection filled with humor, touching moments and surprisingly intelligent symbolism - which carries throughout the book.

The real surprise of Lyvers' collection is in the way ideas are carried subtly through a variety of poems featuring very different types of composition. The verisimilitude, meter and natural intonations of tone in Lyvers' work make it easy to read, and impossible to put down.

"Midwest Collection" carries the reader to unexpected places, in which readers discover a little of themselves through the whimsy and tragedy of this exceptional collection of short fiction and poetry.

You will surely read this collection again and again. (Review by J. Close - Owner CN Publishing. Salem, Oregon.)

__________________________

Glenn Lyvers is all over the place with his poetry and short fiction. It is as though he splashed into the pages in all directions, and then pooled into gorgeous puddles of literary genius. When I was first introduced to his work, I realized immediately that I needed to read more. Midwest Collection is a spirited collection that you will immediately want to share with others. I have never been surer that a poet would become a mega-success. If you miss his first book, you will kick yourself later. It is beautifully written - and that's just the start. (Anthony Shields.
