And Now a Story To Tell...: Narratives in Verse

And Now A Story To Tell...by poet Dave Supple shares poignant memories and keen observations that range from birth to death. A collection of poems that is at times hopefully romantic and at others starkly realistic, these astute, savvy, and solid pieces are rare glimpses into a life that is both unplanned and stunningly heartfelt. Filled with the tender shards of love and the search for truth among the ruins, these portraits of the human condition blend in as much whimsy as they do wit and intelligence, creating a collection that is both accessible and compelling. The author refuses to shy away from any subject in his restless quest for personal and public honesty, while inviting the reader to join him on this intimate journey.

5Not a poetry fan, but I love this book!  Mar 12, 2008
I'm not much of a poetry fan but "And Now a Story To Tell" is different because of the author and his life experiences. Dave Supple is a bar owner, an ocean swimmer, a man of action and a person of limitless talent. His poem on actor Steve McQueen gets to the heart of the man and why we love him so much. This book will stay in my permanent collection.

4Powerful Images  Feb 13, 2008
This collection of poetry is extremely powerful even in its broad approaches -- some that are very personal and others very public and politically timely. I was moved by some of a more personal nature, such as "Ode to Acne" and "To Ryan, My Son, at Twenty-One". Then shaken by "Teacher" and the longer narrative "A Damned Crying Shame". The section entitled Bushwacked is excellent. I especially liked "America, America". Mr. Supple has captured some realistic emotions about very personal relationships as well as the impact of political decision-making on our society. Well done!

5A Breath of Fresh Air for Poetry  Feb 04, 2008
In a literary climate where proving one's poetic skill has more to do with making other people feel dumb than actually connecting with people, this book of poetry is a tremendous step in the right direction. Dave Supple's poetry is at once honest, intelligent, witty, and brave, and most importantly, it is accesible to people of all walks of life, of every age and background. Poetry, at long last, has someone willing to fight for it, and to make it relevant again.

5And now a story to tell  Jan 26, 2008
This book of poetry blew me away,I could not put it down from the moment I opened it.The author speaks with a level of honesty and compassion that is hard to find.Each of these poems give a glimpse into his world.I enjoyed every minute of this collection of poems and can't wait for more.

4At last, a book of poetry I can relate to  Jan 22, 2008
This collection of poems is what poetry should be about. It rocked me and then socked me. I couldn't put it down. It made me feel and then it made me think. Highly recommended.
