“Reviewed By Marie-Hélène Fasquel for Readers’ Favorite
Join the Flock and Other Poems by David Somerfleck is a very interesting poetry collection. I quickly found myself drawn into David Somerfleck’s world. The poems move through memories, family stories, relationships, work experiences, and encounters with nature. There is no single storyline holding everything together, yet that did not bother me. In fact, it felt rather like listening to someone share pieces of their life over a long conversation. One moment I was in a classroom, the next in a park, beside a creek, or following a childhood memory. A few poems stayed with me after I had finished reading, especially Samara, Another Home, and The Pit Curves Toward the Summit, which are so moving and out of the ordinary, to say the least. They all deal with different subjects, but each captures something recognizably human.
Join the Flock and Other Poems by David Somerfleck is a collection of poems that I enjoyed thoroughly thanks to their originality and the style of the author. What made me keep turning the pages was not so much the imagery or the technique, although there is plenty to admire there. It was the feeling that these poems came from lived experience. As a language teacher, I spend my days encouraging young people to observe, remember, and make connections. Some poems made me smile because they captured small details of life so accurately. Others brought back memories of my own family. As a mum and now a grandparent, I found myself lingering over the poems that explore parents, children, and the way the past never completely leaves us. What I appreciated was the honesty. I never had the impression that the poet was trying to impress the reader. Thank you for such a great book!”
