TEMPEST
Ryan Meyer departs from the horror themes of 2018's Haunt in his new collection of poems, Tempest. He explores fear, hope, and self-identity through striking fictional vignettes and surreal personal accounts. Tempest is thus a marriage between the dichotomies of musical, rhythmic poetic dialogue, and the deeper, innate anxieties that accompany change. Discover your truest self and brave the Tempest.
PRAISE FOR TEMPEST:"ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING POETS OF HIS GENERATION."
- POP CULTURALIST "NOTHING SHORT OF ASTONISHING." - MANHATTAN BOOK REVIEW "TEMPEST GIVES VOICE TO AN OUTLET OF LIBERATING EXPRESSION." - INDIEREADER "UNIQUE, MEMORABLE, THOUGHTFUL, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING." - MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "READING THIS BOOK IS LIKE HEARING THE STORY OF A DESTRUCTIVE TEMPEST AFTER THE BOAT HAS BEEN ROCKED ASHORE AND THE SKY HAS CLEARED AGAIN." - LINDA ARRIGHI, REVIEWER FOR REEDSY DISCOVERY "THESE POEMS WERE WONDERFUL. THEY HAVE A COMPELLING AND UNIFIED FRESH VOICE, A GREAT VARIETY IN STYLE AND TOPIC, AND CREATE A FRESH FEELING OUT OF EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES THAT HUMANS OFTEN SHARE." - JUDGE, 29TH ANNUAL WRITER'S DIGEST SELF-PUBLISHED BOOK AWARDS "POWERFUL. [MEYER] IS ABLE TO DESCRIBE FLEETING MOMENTS WITH EXCELLENT PRECISION. THOSE DESCRIPTIONS RESONATED WELL AND HELPED TUNE MY EYE FOR THOSE MOMENTS LONG AFTER FINISHING THE BOOK. I APPRECIATED THE NUANCE IN THE PORTRAYALS OF FEELING AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES... WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANOTHER VOLUME OF WORK FROM THIS POET." - JUDGE, 30TH ANNUAL WRITER'S DIGEST SELF-PUBLISHED BOOK AWARDS "THE POETRY COLLECTION TEMPEST ALTERNATES BETWEEN CALM AND PASSIONATE MOMENTS, WORKING TO CONVEY FAMILY AND IDENTITY ANXIETIES." - FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS |
