Eclectica: Genre Poetry

"Good poetry makes the reader think and feel. Great poetry also gives the reader a glimpse into the poet's mind and heart. Eclectica cuts twenty-one windows into the soul and psyche of J-Mag Guthrie. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes educational, sometimes wistful, but always honest and direct, Guthrie treats her readers as equal partners in her poetry. These are poems stripped naked of all pretension and condescension, leaving only the bare architecture of verse, demonstrating the author's love of the medium. Eclectica is a collection not to be missed." Terry Durbin, author of Chase

"J-Mag Guthrie displays a masterful rhyming talent with a unique humor alternating between hopeful and darkI was on my toes. This poetry is unexpected in its subject matter, and radiant in its skillfulness. I've never read poems based upon mathematics principles, but I can happily say Guthrie introduced me with flying fancy. Guthrie also displays an admirable talent for sight poetry, a rare skill that needs cultivating that she shows excellently. Fun, enjoyable poetry that I'd gladly read in my free time- her poetry's a fast-paced trip through a beautiful, if rainy, world." Kell Inkston, author of "Paper"

"J-Mag's playful excursions into mathematics and the mysterious make for a light, interesting set of verses. These twenty-one poems are a quick read, but will make you think about them for many hours afterwards." Rie Sheridan Rose the Bardabee Poet
