#Blog Tour – Balroop Singh at Emotional Shadows promotes Ever So Gently!!

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry

I am delighted to be featured on Balroop Singh’s blog today, Emotional Shadows, as the blog tour continues for my latest release, Ever So Gently. Balroop shares her stunning review that has me over the moon! Please visit her blog if you haven’t already met Balroop. She is a fabulous poet!

And I’m sharing the book trailer again below that Robbie Cheadle created with my photos:

Balroop’s 5-Star review:

Scott’s poetry celebrates memories and moments in her latest collection – ‘Ever So Gently.’ Her connection with the surroundings blends into the wisdom of nature that unfolds through stunning imagery like: “hear the rustle of a skittering squirrel,” “petals of velvet invite raindrops to bask in their peach enchantment,” and “breeze carries burdens down rivers.”

From the birds that ‘flit and flutter’ to build their nest to the owl who proclaims his presence with his ‘high-pitched toots’ and the hummingbirds that flutter around the “bright pink petals” – all find a place of honor in this book to delight your moods. Lauren’s realism captivates and appeals to all the senses. Some of her poems express profound love that we cherish and yearn for – she tells you how valuable that love has been in her life.

From ‘The Peach Rose’ to ‘Firestorm’ and not to forget ‘I Was Adopted,’ her poetry slides most naturally on the wide canvas of creativity. However, poems that speak of love, of growing up and bonding are the ones that touched my heart. Who can ever forget ‘The Old Afghan,’ which is most relatable!

I haven’t read a more beautiful description of sunset – “The sky explodes in tangerines, salmons, canary yellows – brighter with every second. It’s as though a painter swished her brush back and forth…”
Some more examples of Scott’s brilliant style:
“And water hasnt caressed the hills
The earth, parched like Chile’s Atacama.”
“Silk-thread drizzles dusted rooftops and parched hills.”
“How he tenderly tiptoed through the syllables.”(I could feel the poignancy of the emotion)

A combination of free verse and syllabic poetry like haiku, tanka, etheree, shadorma etc. this is a lovely collection of poetry. Read it slowly to savor each emotion.

Thank you again, Balroop! ❤️

My book is available in paperback and e-book versions.

If you’ve already bought a copy, Thank you! And if you’re currently reading my collection, I hope you’re enjoying it and discovering the reward of living ever so gently. And just a gentle reminder that book reviews are like hugs to Indie Authors, so your ‘hug’ would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻

Wishing you a marvelous Monday!
