Prisdante: Book Review!

PRISDANTE: THE POET'S WAY
In 2025, "PRISDANTE" represents the future of poetry. Gone are the days of "bubble gum" poetry or poetry for poetry's sake.  It is almost too hard to believe that this is actually a debut collection as Jonathon shook a lot of tables that veteran writers dare not trodd.  His fearlessness in confronting norms and providing alternative ways to insight is simply incredible.  "PRISDANTE" has it's fair share of Heroes and Villains, and the Occasional Clowns in between.  Jonathon proclaims himself a "Mad Man" and in some pages, you actually start to believe him, as his fearlessness in questioning foundations as old as time itself can either be categorized as Genius or Madness.  Mad Genius is what I would characterize his way of thinking.  The Love of knowledge, truth and insight rings true in all facets of the book and Jonathon historically retells classic stories like "Icarus", but with a spin and knowledge that not only defies normal logic, but brings a refreshing "insight" and understanding to "Icarus".  
"PRISDANTE" is refreshing and the imagery from start to finish is top notch and one of the books of the year already without a shadow of doubt.   A solid five stars.

PRISDANTE SEASON!

Image
“The Poet’s Way Project” It was an unremarkable day sometime early in the year, around the time of Rhonda Yates, “Ashes to Ice” Poetry Contest in celebration of her book “Ashes to Ice” going Number 1 in multiple categories on Amazon and I saw Jonathon’s entry for the competition and something instantly struck me.  His poetry had a pristine quality to it, almost impossible to fully explain the spectrum of feelings a person gets from reading Jonathon.  Fast forward, he is one of the finalists of the competition and joins the Collab Tour.  His poetry, with its tinge of history and philosophy for me had a quality that needed to be highlighted.   As it was to be, Jonathon already had dreams of publishing his debut collection but was not too sure how to go about it , what with a following then of about 300 followers and no serious buzz to his poetry.  I was convinced regardless and the dream started with a strict regimen on how to get bett...
