Comments...
...on Aquillrelle Anthology 100, book one
Wanda Lea Brayton, poet, author of Swanee Sighs - BUY THIS BOOK!!! I am very honored and pleased to have one
of my poems included in this beautifully done book, along with so many of my world-wide friends, as well. It's
overflowing with talent, beauty, wisdom, profundity. It is well-worth your time to read each one and experience the
loveliness of the written word. Thank you so much for this opportunity, Aquirelle.
Nicolette van der Walt, poet, author of Fire Lily - This anthology is more than a collection of 100 wonderful poems; it
is an anthology of voices, of hearts, of mouths, talent and of cultures; it is the world, life and love through the eyes of
poets from across the globe. Within these pages you'll find some amazing treasures that will embed themselves in the
heart of your eyes.
Wynette Baker Kelly, poet, author of several volumes of poetry: Asylum Smiles, A Violet Moodswing, Yesterday's
Makeup... - This anthology is packed with the poetry of amazing writers. It is a treat to have so many of them in one
place.
Brian Stark, poet - To be included in any book, to me, is a great privilege. However, to be included in this book---with
all these amazing poets that I greatly respect and admire---is something that I have difficulty expressing--I am
speechless! I am proud, I am amazed...I love every poet in this book and their works are amazing to me! Anyone that
picks up these writes will always enjoy what it gives to them. Thank you for your support.
Erwin Kroon, poet - An excellent collection of high quality poetry, from unknown poets to already published poets,
the diversity of imagery and usage of metaphors is enormous, each poem uniquely voiced, ranking from different ages,
different countries, united into a book... a treasure for each lover of poetry.
...on A new Zealander's Book of Ballads
Joan Benecke, poet - A variety of Ballads in this book will keep you enthralled throughout, I recommend you read this
beautiful book and all the interesting information it contains.
...on Opera Stories in Verse
Joan Benecke, poet - If you enjoy Opera, this is the book for you to read, easy to follow and a wonderful way to
learn... Buy the book and read it, I guarantee you won't regret it.
...on More Stories from New Zealand
Joan Benecke, poet - ...I encourage people who are learning about New Zealand to buy this wonderful book,
especially if you have young children to buy his books as they will learn a lot more about New Zealand, History,
Opera's etc than they would through old History books, plus they will enjoy reading it in the form of a poem. Hugh is a
brilliant writer...
...on The Aquillrelle Children
Eric LeClaire, poet, author of Beyond the Mayonnaise Factory - Many thanks to y'all for your hard work and for
publishing the children. They are the future and to present a publication dedicated to their work is wonderful and
courageous. Kudos again, Aquillrelle team!
...on Complete
Wanda Lea Brayton, poet, author of The Echo of What Remains - I rarely have enough time to spend on those
writers whose work deserves to be read and read constantly; Margaret is one of them, unfortunately. Nevertheless,
when I have a free moment or when I need to seek solace, I know I can find it wherever and whenever she writes. She
is one of those fine, eloquent and elegant people who manages to spread goodness, mercy, kindness and peace at
every opportunity. There is a simple beauty to be found within her words, a definite serenity that lingers long after the
poem has been read. She is a memorable writer with a great gift of courage, of generosity, of wisdom and I must
highly recommend her writing to anyone who believes in life, laughter, bravery, knowledge and love. Her writing is a
lasting legacy for you and yours to savor.

Poets Amongst Us Aquillrelle Poetry Two, an Anthology ©2010
Our second contest. Our second anthology. Our second moment(s) of pleasure, when reading and learning once
again that we are not alone, that we are not the only ones to have fallen in love with lady poetry. There are
many like us out there. She is magnanimous, though, she has love enough in her bosom to love us all back.

A New Zealander's Book of Ballads, by Hugh Wyles ©2010
This is a book of poetry, a rich collection of historic ballads generously covering history, geography, life. The
subject of each ballad was well researched before being entrusted to the beauty of rhyme on paper, the
narrating voice is mostly serious with a few refreshing touches of humor.

paint me a dream, by John Mc Guckin ©2011
John Mc Guckin’s work is anchored deep
in the realities of life: personal, social,
political. His opinions on each of these
subjects are clearly (sometimes even
roughly) expressed, there is no subject
that his pen considers taboo. And yet,
you can sense there, beneath all these
worldly layers - the dreamer. In his ever
present melancholic, soft poetry.

Opera Stories in Verse, by Hugh Wyles ©2011
This is a book of poetry, squeezing the
intense drama of the art of opera into the
intense drama of the poet's own
interpretation and art of verse. An intense
book in its own right.

Erotica storytelling through the eyes of a
woman living in the Levant, loving the

The Aquillrelle Children, an anthology of children art ©2011
The world, through children's eyes. Mostly innocent. Mostly colorful. Always sparkling with hope. Leaving it to
us, grownups, to watch, interpret, understand. After all there's nothing more important than a child's wish. It is
up to us to translate it into command and execute... blindly.

A Time of Sonnets, by Margaret I. Gibson & Hugh L.M. Wyles ©2011
So many the miles separating these two
poets, so many the words they have
patiently sown, paving an unbreakable
bridge between them based on mutual
appreciation, deeply rooted faith and a
shared love for that melody of written
word called: Sonnet. Talented, creative,
each employing his/her own style, each
creating his/her individual beauty, joining
in this common venue of art in the aim to
bring to you, the reader, the beauty of
their expression.

Earthquake Experience, by Hugh L.M. Wyles ©2011
Having lived through several earthquakes
at his home town - Christchurch, New
Zealand - Hugh Wyles is best positioned
to witness in his special rhyming way
about the events happening around him.
He watches the events with a practical,
critical, no nonsense eye, his faith as

Margaret I. Gibson shares in writing what she learns of self . Reading the titles of her poems, in itself becomes
a poem of awareness, stirring the reader to recognition of profound emotional content. Written in the graceful
flow of the timeless sonnet, addressing both reason and emotion, the poet is convinced that the world is ever

Sea Dreams, by John Mc Guckin ©2011
A second, and hopefully not last, from
this crusader of personal, political and
social truths who is John Mc Guckin. His
style unchanged - telling it to your face if
rudely, if romantically, if feather-soft. He
calls it a hobby, well probably it is one,
yet more than a hobby - it is a gift.

Wish I had a magic carpet, by Mina Nagi ©2011
Versatile, light hearted, jovial - these are
just a few of the qualifying words that can
describe Mina's poetry. Having discovered
and fallen in love with this art about ten
years ago, his style and quality kept
improving until he finally put together this
complete collection, a collection he
justifiably can be and is proud of. He lives
in his poetry the reality of his family, the
reality of his country, the reality of the
world surrounding him and is generously
sharing his impressions with anyone and
everyone of his followers and readers.

French Regards, by Bernard Cadillon ©2011
Bernard Cadillon is an artist at and of heart. Trying his hand in painting, trying his hand in photography, he
decided to try his hand also in the toughest of them all - poetry. English poetry for a native French speaker...

what a challenge, what a dare. The
poetry included in this book samples life
from a variety of angles: near, remote,
historic, social, criminal, artistic... and
Bernard’s interspersing of words with
black & white reproductions of his
paintings bestows upon this book a feel of
artistic completeness.

Brighton Shorts, by Andrew Campbell-Kearsey ©2011
You’d better first read that last paragraph
of Andrew Campbell-Kearsey’s short story
you are about to read next, because if
you don’t you are going to end with such
a twist-slash-knot in your mind that you
are going to need the famous sword to
get it untangled. Stories taken from life,
twists taken from another dimension -
that’s the long and short of Andrew’s
stories. You never know you are taken for
a ride until you suddenly wake up with
the ride behind you, and you cannot
abstain from a well deserved smile and
better deserved applause. Each time
anew.

Snakes in the Sass, by Lynn Veach Sadler ©2011
It is absolutely impossible to define this
humorous collection of poetry, born at the
finely sharpened end of Dr. Lynn Veach
Sadler’s pencil, other than... absolutely
marvelous.
Delving in, stealing from and exploiting
unfathomable depths of academia, pun,
and personal wit, Dr. Lynn threads word-
barbs on the steel of sentence-wires with
machine-gun speed at sniper-rifle
accuracy. She could have had easily
qualified (among her numerous other
titles) for the Muhammad Ali of the ho[a]
xing world [of English] title, had such a
title existed.
This short review is written by one of Dr.
Lynn’s aspiring students, poorly trying to
imitate her inimitable style.

...pursuing what could perhaps be best
described as a broadly colourful career...
the only truly common thread has been
his writing, an enduring passion never
completely abandoned; fuelled by his
lifelong fascination with not only the
beauty of the English language and its
literature in general, but the richness and
diversity of its poetry in particular. A
fascination well illustrated in the almost
perverse multiplicity of styles and subject
matter contained within this slim volume
and others... Dave ‘Hoppy’ Bennett

Poets Amongst Us Aquillrelle Poetry Three, an Anthology ©2011
Our third contest. The good news being
that Aquillrelle starts attracting more
submissions - with about 1000 poems
and 300 poets there is nothing to
complain about. The bad news being that
high quality submissions were so
numerous that choosing the winners was
a real ordeal. Oh, what a wonderful
ordeal...
As always - we don’t ask others to take
our word for it. We ask them to test our
taste and judge our judgment. Here is
your opportunity. The poems in this book
are anything from good to stupendous. If
you are a poetry lover - this is certainly a
book for you.

Epiphanies and Benedictions, by Earl LeClaire ©2011
Earl LeClaire does not write poetry. Earl
LeClaire writes life. He takes very high
resolution pictures of the world with his
mind’s camera and then, with the
precision of a sci-fi computer somewhere
between Clarke’s HAL and Asimov’s
UNIVAC, he translates each pixel into
such precise words, lines and stanzas,
that one forgets where the color ends and
the poetry starts and where did that thief
called time disappear.

...Imagine reading a distinctly, and
refreshingly disturbing, philosophical
intellectual collection of poems at its most
raw and unrefined, within its disquieted
self, while also being seductive with a
surprisingly sharp contrast of emotional
insight... He is the next new wave in
contemporary writing.... If you are bold,
brave and ready to venture beyond the
comfortable refuge of accepted art
forms... If you want to indulge in the
most intimate sense of madness, as well
as the pure aspects of Divine love, then
turn the page and begin the discovery of
Dyer’s naked soul. Zayra Yves, 2011.
