Roman’s 3rd poetry collective, and 4th overall release zeroes in on the life struggles that make us move quickly over the terrain of life. We all experience it, we all go through it; and as the title aptly summarizes, when life is coals you have no choice but to move quickly.
When Life Is Coals You Move Fast: Poems
By romannewell
It’s an amazing experience when an author can take you from what your reading and transcend and evoke memories…connecting and awakening different thoughts and mindsets…Roman Newell is honestly brilliant in his delivery….
Real, raw, and brilliant !
WORDS matter!
They are the keys to the very foundation of our heart and soul, even when life is complicated and messy
All stories matter. All stories need to be shared. More importantly, life needs to be lived. Even through the turbulence and broken pieces that occupy and make us who we are. We need to be able to have those stories matter, be heard. The right stories, that come along to find us…
* provide sustenance for a person’s soul…
* energise a person’s countenance…
* invigorates our heart…
What’s even more compelling… is when those words and thoughts are found in POETIC verse. Roman Newell has confidently found his voice in poetry. He is going to slay you with his words!
His poetry, will literally and figuratively move you, touch your heart and soul. His words, are tough words, frank confessions – to challenge you, to teach you. His words inspire you to be better, care more, challenge perceptions, attitudes and responses to what is constantly surrounding you.
WHEN LIFE IS COALS YOU MOVE FAST, was quite the emotional journey. No words can ever be adequate enough to describe the level of sophistication and determined resolve, that is inked, bleed, poured into each poem, within the confines of this poetry collection.
From the words gleaned… they can give others hope, that they are not alone in their personal development and life’s struggles. That we are all beautiful souls, we all have complicated, messy lives and just looking for our personal space, to share and be afforded the gift of never being alone.
Glimpses of this poet’s life experiences were already revealed when reading his very first poetry collection – THE WALLS WE PUT UP IN THE NIGHT. This time… WHEN LIFE IS COALS YOU MOVE FAST… oh WOW!! readers, be prepared to be impressed!! overwhelmed!!
Readers are afforded further transparency into this poet’s life and mindset. It’s a further intimate glimpse into his heart and soul journey through life. At times the poems have you gasping for breath. They hurt so much to read. Have tissues handy because tears will leak. Then there are the poems, which will have you lingering, pouring over each word, smiling out loud because they bring back lost memories. I so have my personal favourites inside this amazing collection.
How you connect to each poem will hold different perceptions and meanings for each person that reads. Each poem will challenge you and be highly emotive. This incredible collection ~ WHEN LIFE IS COALS YOU MOVE FAST ~ commands your attention. Intimidating. Challenging. The words overwhelm your thoughts. That, I believe, is the heart, soul and beauty behind poetic verse – that we can learn something and gain new insights each time we delve inside the pages of a poetry collection.
Find your moments of solitude, to read poetry. There is much that can be obtained from this poetic voice.
