5.0 out of 5 stars Words That Are Like Lyrics With Soft Music On A Snowy Night
Perhaps I am rare. When I was young, I’d open my Bruce Springsteen albums and immediately go to the lyrics page. While I loved Springsteen’s music, I was intrigued by his poetry put to music. I’d study the words over and over again, saying them out loud in my head. It was beautiful. I found the same experience reading Remnants of Severed Chains.
It’s a book of poems that focuses on love, love lost, love perhaps to be gained and healing. The author talks about healing in her foreword, too. It’s obvious she had challenges in her past and is continuing on her road to recovery.
“Silence The Voice” is a short, simple yet profound work of art. She writes of a long ago voice haunting her. She speaks of how she will overcome it. In We Go On, the author continues the battle, encouraging the reader to fight through their own personal battles, and find peace.
She is positive too with her lyrics. I hear them in my head to soft music. Perhaps it’s on a snowy evening while taking a walk near the ocean or bay. Or maybe it’s alone on a deserted small town street.
I’ll read it again. Some words are already prevalent in my mind, in my day, motivating me, inspiring me to forge ahead against life’s daily challenges. – Love Books

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Lyndon brings stories to life through her eyes and poetry~
Remnants of Severed Chains is another of the author’s masterpieces! The words of many of the poems speak to me with such feeling and emotion. I was mesmerized from the Preface. The poetry is simple to read, the emotions each poem creates is one that is lovable, intense, overpowering and more. I look forward to rereading Remnants of Severed Chains and sharing it with others I feel will enjoy it as well. I am anxious to read her next book. She seems to make the words come to life and the story/poem touches my heart and soul. Excellent Writer! – A Fan
5.0 out of 5 stars Darkness, Light, and Victory
What I enjoyed most about reading Remnants is how the poems flow into one another with great conviction. The ebb and flow of innocence begins the book. I felt like I was the child seeing and feeling as what is beautifully described in the poems. But that’s only the beginning. Each poem engulfs a new perspective from the eyes of a young woman who feels darkness, light, and victory. I was so happy the book ended on an inspiring note and I look forward to more poetry by this author. – Laurie Kozlowski | Book Escape Reviews | http://www.bookescapereviews.wordpress.com

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m glad I read this book. Loved it!
I downloaded this book when an offer was going on, but I’d have gladly paid full price for such beautiful poems, no exaggerations here. Read the sample pages and decide yourself. I’m no connoisseur of poetry but I know (and appreciate) when I come across good writing. I’m going to read more books by this author for sure. – Bookish
