A Poet for those who "aren't into poetry."
By Susan E. Thomas
The trend these days in poetic literature (which I, personally, feel is unfortunate) is to promote free verse poems that may (or may not) leave an emotional impression but not necessarily an intellectual one. By that I mean, I have recently heard that one local teacher is teaching that a poem need not be understood or even make any sense for it to be enjoyed. Perhaps not; but let me ask you, is that what you really want in a poem? Is that what you are looking for? Emotion devoid of content?
I am the last to say what you should or should not look for in a poem; however, in that same vein, I would suggest that the literary intellectuals (snobs?) should not dictate such a thing to you, either. You shouldn’t feel bad or unintellectual if you enjoy an easily understood poem, a poem that paints a picture of simpler times, harkens you back to your childhood, reminds you of past loves—speaks to you in words you understand. And dare I suggest that poetry that rhymes is far from being outdated or unintellectual? That it might even require greater effort and creativity on the part of the composer? That it might—like music—exercise greater power over us?
If you agree, let me introduce you to poet, Rex Holliday. Very few writers—even few good writers—are able to paint an entire scene with so few words as Rex Holliday. Rex writes almost exclusively in quatrain verse. His poems are short but poignant. And reading his work changed my mind about poetry. I used to think one had to read poetry in short sessions. Read two or three, then put it down and let it digest. Now, that’s not a bad way to do it, but I now believe some poets write to be read voraciously. I can sit down and consume one after another, like a big bowl of jellybeans, enjoying each unique flavor and then reaching back for a new experience. And, because Rex’s poems are so short, my favorite flavors can be enjoyed again and again. My only trouble is in picking my favorites.
But on to some specifics about Mr. Holliday’s work. He uses few commas, letting one thought glide into another, but crafting the words to bring out multiple images at once. In some ways, reading his work is a lot like looking at a photograph. He builds an entire scene with barely more than a glimpse. But many of his poems go further than that. His scenes become stories—windows into his childhood and life experiences—that make me imagine myself right there, living it, breathing it, feeling it. I sit down and read a few paragraphs, but get up feeling like I’ve read an entire short story.
All of this is well and good, but little of it would matter to me if it weren’t for the quality of the content. Remember, I’m in this poetry-reading thing for more than just bare emotion. I want more than a cacophony of conflicting images. I want quality. Style. Meaning. Content. And, beyond that, (though you might call me selfish) I want the content to bless me in some way. I find enough of life’s sorrows and tragedies in the news and on Facebook. I find enough of it in my own life. In fact, I often have to search for the good—for the encouragement, the pats on the back, the fond memories, the blessings. Picking up Rex Holliday’s book of poems ended that search for me. For, in that moment, I found what my heart searched for.
I’ve heard a lot of people tell me that they’re “not into poetry.” Seeing what’s being published these days, I think I understand why. But, I would like to offer this challenge to anyone who has claimed such a thing. Read Mr. Holliday’s book. Give his poetry a chance to speak to you. And, then tell me whether or not you’re really, truly “not into poetry.” Maybe, just maybe, you’re not into—dare I say it?—bad poetry. (Is there such a thing as a bad poem? Yes. I most certainly believe there is, but that is a discussion for another day.)
And one more thing. Good poetry, like good food, is meant to be shared. Read them to your spouse. Tuck your kids into bed at night with them. Call up a friend who is having a rough day and share a morsel with her. And, when it’s time to choose a special gift for a loved one, give them the gift that will nurture them for many years to come.
May you always be blessed,

Beautiful Words; Beautiful Soul
By Sue
"Wish not for the things
That tarnish and rust
Keep good in your heart
This is all you trust."
Is just one of the brilliant, simple truths told in Rex Holliday's book of poems. This is not a book you read only once, but many times, as he inspires and awes with tales of noble character, life's humor, and fantastic adventure. As you read, you feel the great passion ensconced in each poem. Rex's poetry delivers timeless meaning and engagement for readers of all ages. I would recommend this one for everyone.
