An Artisan of Word. Dec 12, 2007
It is a joy reading Cacophony. I've found Elliott Eli Jackson to know the nature of men, women, fathers, mothers and children. He knows the nature of true friends, lovers and acquaintances. The evidence lies in his work, taken from his life. I can tell this man knew many and gaining his wisdom from his experiences is apparent as his word flows effortlessly throughout this book which he calls Cacophony. Cacophony means jarring and discordant, yet the most jarring force of Mr. Jackson's words are far from discord. They are truly sweet euphony, bouncing me from memory to memory in sheer elegance.
His poems paint vivid scenes such as Avante Garde, a poem about a woman who sees beyond all the games men play and Dad's Chair, where the universal fantasy of pretending to be Dad lifted my imagination by jettisoning the gentle, yet playful minds of his brothers and sisters pretending to be Dad. Something truly universal. Many precious and enduring moments seeming to be suspended in time are brilliantly executed from moment to flickering moment, page after page. Mr Jackson's heart and mind are clearly connected and because of this he executes his work as a true artisan of word.

Breath of fresh Air Nov 04, 2006
Elliott Jackson is a breath of fresh poetic air.
This compilation of poems to me, was not only new but old at the same time. One may wonder, what does this mean? New, in the fact that I have never heard such heartfelt realism, passion, and insperation broken down in three catagories LIFE, LOVE, SPIRIT. A Cacophony of words so jumbled, and yet make so much since. Old, in the fact that these are catagories mankind has dealt with since the beginning of time. This book will make one ponder on life and the things gained or lost during the journey. Love, how it is discovered, lost, infatuated, or distroyed and kept in a persons soul like a lockbox with one key. That key, SPIRIT.
I highly recommened this book to all Gods creatures, and eagerly wait for Elliott E. Jackson's next performance. encore!!!
New found Love Sep 25, 2006
I must admit, I did not think modern poetry could be so good. This poet and book could reengerize interest in poetry. I would recommend this book to anyone.
A festive, graceful and spontaneous composition! Sep 19, 2006
When I read this collection of verse about life, love, and spirit; I thought it had been written for me, about me, and concerning me. It is almost as if this Elliott Eli Jackson and I are one. I believe every home in the world would benefit with Cacophony contained in their librate assemblage of polite literature. A must read as well as a must give to every person you know!

Elliott's poems are chocked full of life experiences and depth of feelings. We are very grateful to have been able to share our store with him and are very proud to promote his book of poems.
