“The Great Abortion: A Holy Book for Isolated Souls” by Tourville Delerme Jr. is described as “a brilliant tapestry in verse” by the US Review of Books
The beauty of words is that, by delivering deep and meaningful meanings, they can reach the very core of one’s spirit. Words can reach out and touch what hands cannot. Poetic words may arouse the senses and inspire hearts to awaken and be enlightened. The sea of words encapsulates philosophical principles that guide and remind us of life’s crucial matters.
This book, The Great Abortion: A Holy Book for Isolated Souls, covers a wide range of topics that are both contemporary and relevant to different audiences. Nicole Yurcaba from the US Review of Books noted that “follow the poems’ speaker through a series of poetic narratives and confessions that embrace philosophy, art, and anecdotal flairs fit for any deep thinker: “Remove his honeycomb and he will dry up with spite.” Moreover, she continued, “Readers also observe as history “turned a card in our game” and rejuvenate themselves in poems like “Children of the New Wine.” In other poems, readers find commentary about the current technology-driven state of society: “Carry, type, and speak you speakers… What dumb and wonderfully useful power.” By the collection’s end, the poems have woven romance, loss, loneliness, crises, and everything in between in order to arrive at the Nile, which demands honor and respect.”
The book contains a collection of poems that are both philosophical works and works of artistry. Freedom, depression, lust, solitude, paradise, risk, labor, spirituality, and transformation are just a few of the topics covered in this anthology. These issues, as different as they are, all come together in a thoughtful and compelling atmosphere of study and moral exhortation.
Tourville Delerme Jr. wants to put an end to a senseless tradition of emotional stimulation that benefits neither the author nor the reader. There are numerous poems that have devolved into a never-ending stream of adjectives that produce fantastic mental images but drown out the few lines devoted to the actual substance.
The author has been praised by the US Review of Books and stated that (in this book) “…poems carefully weave allusions, facts, personal insights, and experiences to form a colorful tapestry in verse. Readers discover clever, playful, but meaningful wordings…” and added that “The verses dig deep into personal and collective memories. The careful placement of not only words and phrases but ultimately the poems themselves creates a synergy that eases readers through the speaker’s highs and lows. This book is an exciting read for mature poetry lovers of all backgrounds. It is a collection one will not be able to forget easily.”
The poems in this book do not convey hundreds of meaningless words; instead, they use words with endless meanings. This book encourages readers to experience the beauty of the reconciliation of relevant facts language in fancy words yet with substance, rather than just poetry, which is frequently misconstrued as empty fantasies.
