Here are some reviews for “Fabric of Life” from Barnes and Nobles website:
"...Each chapter has an edge, and each poem, an unexpected twist. From poems that challenge social policies to love poems about true love, un-returned love, and even love affairs, you will love what is said, hate what is said or feel guilty, but you will definitely not be without an opinion!" - Author House (Publisher)
“…This powerful compilation of poetry is brilliantly designed to engage the mind into motion, captivating a large audience to think and ponder on the various topics, issues, emotions and enlightenment that impact and concern each one of us daily. Intellectually stimulating Fabric Of Life will bring much insight and worth to each reader.” Berine, A. (customer review)
“I bought John Swails’ book looking for inspirational poetry to send to my son in Iraq, and what I found was a splendid blend of daringly intelligent work with a soul as wide as the Mississippi. A definitive selection of poems that draws from the entire breadth of life experiences. I found Mr. Swail's style of poetry mesmerizing. I highly recommend Fabric of Life.” Carmen Lopez, A reviewer, October 26, 2004,
Copies can be purchased at your local bookstore or online at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, Borders, etc..
