Brilliantly descriptive writing. I could really feel the emotion in the words of the poems. Keep on writing!

Well thought-of and aaaaareally thought provoking. Keep the flame burning!

As always this writer does not disappoint when you open the cover of her book. She shows you deep the the bones of her psyche and the way she views all things in the place we call earth. From the hurts of her past to the hopes of tomorrow her words will spellbind you and show you all things that you wish to see, as well as things you don't. From page one if you're like me you will be enthralled and just completely enamored by the verbs and nouns arranged in a way that only Jamie Hatfield can do. Both skillfully written and presented, the works within these pages will provoke your thoughts and touch your heart. Simply amazing.

The book's cover is very expressive.
It plunges human being in the ambiguity that represent black coulor
on the one hand, and high meditations that reflect the iconographic
picture on the other hand.

The book presented is very interesting!
In first, it presents the bond that units the being --- the autor with her past filed with entities kindly or unhealthy that govern her life.
The nostalgic relations that she evokes at the time of change of his vital place put in in front of metaphysic méditations that justifie considerably the title of the book DEAD IN ROME, the book's center of interest. The other people's look in his diversity permits her to lay a relationship ethic. From dream's world to self-critical, developing a phenomenology of spirit, Jamie HATFIELD paints the neing and the human condition. IT'S AN EXCITING BOOK!!!

La couverture du livre est très expressive. Elle plonge l'Etre dans l'ambigüité que représente que représente la couleur noire déune part et les méditations transcendantales que reflete l'image ichonographique d'autre part.
Le livre présenté est très intéressant. Il met d'abord en exergue le lien indélébile qui unit l'homme --- l'auteur à son passé rempli d'entités bienveillantes ou malsaines qui conditionnent sa vie.
Les rapports nostalgiques qu'il évoque lors du changement de son milieu vital le met face à la meditation métaphysique qui justifie largement le titre de l'ouvrage MORT DE ROME, le centre d'intérêt de l'oeuvre. Le regard d'autrui dans sa diversité lui permet d'asseoir une éthique rationnelle. Du monde onirique à l'auto-critique, en élaborant une phénoméologie de l'esprit, Jamie HATFIELD peint l'Etre et la condition humaine. C'EST UN LIVRE PALPITANT!!!

Thought provoking and interesting
well done

I must say with every book it get's better and better. art dosent justify what this author creates in her work.It's just simply perfect. this author has pure talent. deep and moving I rate this work of art one of the best iv read.(to my number one poet and author awsome job on all the hard work put into this perfect book. Congratulations!!! you deserve every credit) if no has read it yet ,you are missing out on a great read.I recommend this book to every one.

I have no terms to comment this book! I can say only one thing about the poet! His work is brillant...!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW...your words are very moving and make the reader think. I really recommend this book!

i want to read more. reading the couple of poems there captured me and brought me into your world and i got a glimpse of your thought process. that is something i look forward to doing in my own writings. also, great intro!

Even though poetry is not really a subject I am all that familiar with, this book contains poems that everyone can relate to. As with all poetry (and books), some poems speak to me more than others do, but all in all, it's a very good read. Thanks!

This book touches on the deep feelings of the author and of the reader. It wraps around the feelings of love and of loss like a snuggling cat that wakes you in the early morning. It is eclectically monistic in pulling together aspects of life’s drama that many wish not to see.

Dark and yet clean. A collection of powerfully constructed poems that rip at the imagination. Well worth the read an excellent book!

We do need it: pain/bread....These stark/bare confessions of the soul and heart....
Jamie does it very well: Ms Joni Mitchell before "Hejira": a woman's storm rising to the surface, and thrashing a sea's shore....
We do need it: and always will; a male, perhaps i, would seek deep understanding/control, but Jamie! these stark catharsis' hunt you down beyond all mirrors: beyond the saviour's influence, the need to forgive/forget, and again my femme-male is at a meeting with "Death" sitting on the fence where the graveyard hides from the street...

....Learnt to love u, Jamie, like i loved joni mitchell....

These are beautiful, intimate poems, and the speaker reveals detailed commentary about love and pain. The poems discuss how personal history bleeds into the present, and how we can move in the present, regardless of our past. Though the poems discuss pain, the resulting emotion is freedom, the freedom to move on, and love again.

Thank you for writing these tender pieces!

As a fellow poet, I can appreciate others who can lay themselves out there through verse. The poetry (in this volume) is raw; the verses drip with deep, dark emotions, which the title itself seems to suggest. The poet has gone deeper inside herself and pulled out those things which many of us have felt. I get the connection, and hopefully others will, too.

I decided to take a look at this book of poetry and I have to admit I sighed with exasperation when I realized that it came off as another angst-filled hobbyist poetry book; but then I hit page 131, Reflections...I was taken aback and had to read it twice.

After being thoroughly shocked by the true depth of the poetry and the idea that this woman touched the very face of night and was able to express it so, I had to re-read the bits she had laid out in her preview. Looking between the lines I was surprised to find a kind of quiet darkness lingering there, something waiting to be disturbed amongst the ashes fallen at her feet.

The presentation is wonderfully dry, in that it will not deter your focus from the heart of the matter, so long as you are willing to read what is and isn't branded in ink.

I would think anyone could be both disturbed and entranced by the eidolon Jamie has presented in her latest book.

The poems that I have read so far all seem to have the same effect, they seem to tear out my heart. You truly have a talent for making the reader feel as though they are the ones your poetry is written about. Wonderfully done!

I really liked your poem, "Silence". Good job.

Powerful, emotional & passionate! well done another book published & with your creativity more to come I hope...Cheers Bev ;) www.bevsbook.co.uk

really loved the indeviduality shown through words, was a moving read. well done and keep up the good work!

From what I've read of these poems they are very original, creative, and quite dark and deep. It's good to read some poetry that's not just a rehash of work seen a thousand times before. Well done!

Although the subjects aren't really that new (alienation, mind pain, loneliness, abuse), the choice of form is really what's interesting. It has a classical form, yet there are no rhymes. All in all, a pretty decent read.

I would love to see more, but what you have here is really well done! I like the format of the poems and all the things included! Very well done, new and fresh to the eyes, wonderfully mastered! I love the writing. Very deep and I can connect to it in some sort of creative way.

You have a wonderful gift! I love it!!
