Description
Glances of Life is a collection of thirty-five poems categorized into three sections. The first section, Intrigue, covers a wide range of images from nature and the conflicts of modern-day life. Part two is a whimsical look at childhood memories and animal curiosities. It’s children-friendly, but not just for kids! Section three, Reflections, explores the mysteries of life in a somewhat offbeat presentation.

I am reviewing a Glances of Life through Dog Ear Publishing and Netgalley:
In this short collection of poetry the poet deals with everything from technology and the digital age, to the beauty of nature and the outdoors.
The poet also talks about childhood, family. I found that despite this book being so short, it packed a powerful punch.
I give Glances of Life five out of five stars.
Happy Reading!

Glances of Life, Select poems by J.B. Anderson, illustration by Maria Rodriguez is a short collection of poems, broken down into three sections. The first is modern, and a personal reflection on things that touch us now, in the here and now. The second is more whimsical, with a touch of humor, perhaps the author thinking with a child's viewpoint from his youth, but reminiscent in a faint whisper of some of Shel Silverstein. The last section are reflections. The very first poem "First Glance" wow'd me, and I want to read it again, and again. And "IT" is so timely. Butterfly Dance is beautiful and reminds me of the day my husband and I visited a butterfly garden. It makes you smile. Shattered makes you think. This book of poems is to read, and reread, and revisit again, and give a copy to a friend. Perfect for poets, and poetry collections in public and academic libraries. It makes me want to read more by this author, as he has a lyrical, whimsical, way with words and thought that makes you think, and smile.
