Review of the Author’s Work

“For those readers that might be interested, much of Dr. Siluk’s poetry is done in semi classic narration; that is to say, in a constructive format that describes a sequence of events, or recounts one.  An example might be an epic or a poem that tells a condensed story of a heroic deed or event.  Thus, it becomes clearer for the reader, whereas much poetry today—each word, and each image has several meanings, so thick it has layers of synonyms, consequently, making it harder for the reader to  make out where the poet wants to take him or her. In Dr. Siluk’s poetry, this is seldom done for clarity sake, and readability, so it can reach the bigger audience without having to carry a dictionary or thesaurus around.

      I can say on another positive note, the Poet, Dr. Siluk some of his works can be considered reminiscent of ancient Greek Poets, or writings, such as “Victory the Mad,” “The Fifth Moon,” “The Lost Millennium,” “Conte de Green Knight,” or the “Soldiers of Nirut,” among many more, epic style poems.

       In addition to his many styles used in his over 3300-poems (among sonnets, haikus etc), he uses Poetic Prose, blank and short verse, more often than not. He also has inferred on certain occasions, ‘Metered verse is not necessarily a fundamental part poetry, nor does poetry have to have meter in it: a flow yes. In fact, meter was forced upon poetry by man, thus, it is not natural.”’
