Some of it's 5 Star Reviews
Format:Paperback
Being a poet at heart I must highly recommend You Beckon by Peggy
Eldridge-Love. They say poetry is subjective but I beg to differ, "First
Fruits: A Wedding Lullaby," "Cold Fever," "Wall Flower" and "Go" (a
simple yet urgent plea) just to name a few herald the love and
appreciation of this collection. Peggy has a sweet way with words that
carress you as you read like waves on an ocean vacation. I love the
memories as if they were my own. I look forward to reading additional
volumes of poetry from this wordsmith. You've gotta get a copy. This is a
must for every collection.

I feel fortunate to have been recently introduced to the poetry of
Peggy Eldridge-Love. Her work does not provide easy, comfortable
reading, but rather familar places, people and memories that
figuratively beckon the reader to take a closer look at the tender ache
that may wait beneath the surface of the ordinary. Through Eldridge's
artistry, common contemporary scenes and themes of our shared recent
history take on a new dimension. Her collection is filled with timeless
peices that you'll want to read and read again.M. LaVora Perry,

" You Beckon" By Peggy Eldridge Love, is a collection of voices: A
young girl, an old man, a worried wife, a soldier, a cosmopolitan and a
lover as well as many others. All within the pages of this fine
collection of poetry Eldridge Love handles many characters and gives
them clarity and dignity that is rare in voices.
The poems work because the reader can connect with them and relate, living vicariously through their losses and victories.
The majority of Eldrdge Love poems succeed because they evoke a satisfying emotional response. It is one thing to write a well crafted poem that follows the rules of poetry, another to make a poem that touches the soul.
from " Repertoire"
I gave up wanting long ago
Believing that i bargained away
all hope of arms that might hold
eyes that could see
ears that wanted to hear
the repertoire of my soul.
Eldridge Love's poems are direct enough to draw the reader in. Complicated enough to hold the their interest. Love sports a fiskle intellect. But she doesn't put herself on a pedestal. She wants you to come into her world of words, which are often deep, always provocative and razor sharp in their brevity. Her family poem's " My Father" are snap shots of a Black girls life in Kansas who describes herself as a "hick", but don't be fooled by Eldridge Love's modesty. These poems are the documentation of a creative force at work.Erren.G.Kelly
