Lines by Leon is a collection of short stories, poems, prose and pictures by Leon Stevens. This collection is written from the heart and and touch on several topics like the Environment, Human Relations and behavior I truly enjoyed reading this book. Each one of the short stories and Poems you can feel the emotions in some and they were definitely written from the heart. I found myself lost in the pages and literally buzzed right through it in less than a hour. There’s something for everyone in this book and I highly recommend it.

This isn’t the kind of book that I would usually read but I found myself really enjoying this one. It was easy to read and there genuinely seemed to be something for everyone in this. I liked how I could read this book in those few minutes that normally wouldn’t be long enough to read in – one of this collection was perfect for those snatches of time.

Lines by Leon: Poems, Prose, and Pictures by Leon Stevens this emotive book is full of many thoughts and doodles and wanderings. It is certainly on book that will make you stop and think and more so at times because I lost my mother recently. It evokes memories of childhood and the wonders of youth whilst also injecting humour making me laugh. If you are up for something a little different then Leon’s book is just the thing.

This book of Poems, Prose, and Pictures was very enjoyable to read. Different sections are introduced which was perfect. “As I See It”, I enjoyed “Smiles” and “Trust on Sports” and I loved the “Environment” section as well. In between there are some just simple but perfect sketchings within some of the sections of the book. At the end are some short stories. This book is short but really made me think on some topics. Very well done!

I have read books of poems before but Lines by Leon touches on topics that really make you think. It gives you a look at how someone else is feeling and their opinions about personal viewpoints, the environment, sports and more. The one I really liked was The First Snow. Reading Lines by Leon just makes you feel something, it’s a book about poems, music lyrics, prose, and just thoughts. I definitely can not wait for another collection From Leon Stevens. I really love his writing.

I enjoyed this book. This is one of my favorite types of books and a new author on top made a great book for me. This is a book that is full of poems, short stories that are written with a ton of heart and emotion. They cover topics such as places, environment and relationships. I found this book to be well written and the author’s use of details in each poem or short story made them feel realistic. This is an easy to understand and read book that I read in one sitting. Each poem and short story are unique and just fun to read. I highly recommend this book. I know you will find something in one of these poems or short stories you will connect with.

Lines by Leon is a wonderful collection of poems, stories, and pictures. Some of the works that spoke to me include “Smile”, “Life”, “Book Cover”, “Addiction”, “Moments”, and “The Bookstore”. These speak to me at this time in my life as they are about books, living alone, moments that have passed, and how addiction affects a person.

Here is a sample of “Time and Time Again”:
Time passes
Only when you impose a starting point
Removing that restriction
Allows for things to just…
Happen

Take time out of your novels and read a poem or a short story. You will be amazed as I was at how these short works will grab your heart.

Engaging and thought-provoking.
This is a fabulous collection of insightful prose poetry and meaningful sketches. The use of imagery and rhythm were spot on. My favourite were the Environment collection and Addiction. The short story at the end was very cleverly written and entertaining. Even though this is a quick read there is something that will connect with everyone.

“As I walk amidst the slowly approaching night, along the dry cobblestones, I hear music echoing through the narrow streets. It takes a few false turns before I discover the source. Bathed in the soft light of an open door, guitar and flute intertwine their melodies like a passionate dance between two lovers.
My presence, as I lean against the brightly painted wall across the street, goes unnoticed. I listen for as long as I can until prior engagements pry this unknown audience away, retreating into the darkness.”

 

Lines By Leon: Poems, Prose, and Pictures by Leon Stevens is a great mix of poetry, short stories, pictures, and cartoons. Easy to read, this book definitely gave me much to think about. The author touches on many topics:
-As I See It
– (the) Environment
-The Human Condition
-People and Places
-Ponderance and Muse
-Odds and Ends, Knick-Knacks, and Bric-a-brac
-Table Scraps
-The Surprise Page
-(&) Short Stories
…. full of though, sketches, insights, reflections, observations, humour, sarcasm, relationships, and more- all of which made for an entertaining read-.

Thank you, Leon Stevens!
