‘I chase the wind and get lost in the clouds’ – memorable poetic meanderings
Alabama poet Sherman Kennon brings a breath of air and life to our at times discouraged world. His books to date: MY THOUGHTS, CHASE THE WIND and now WHISK OF DUSK, which he aptly subtitles ‘Too Unseen Distance’ – the core of many of his eloquent poems.
The themes of Kennon’s succinct poems range from wisps of observing Nature to moments of memories of love and family, and occasional notes of philosophical meanderings offered with support as well as caution and admonition. His rhyming pattern is particularly creative, encouraging repeated reading to discover every particle of thought. A brief example of his craft is offered below:
“Quietude
Sunlight shines beauty aglow,
by the banks of the river that quietly flow.
Misty rain yields comfort to a muggy night.
Wind of a gentle breeze,
calming the skies destine of rendering light.”
Quiet, calming, and accessible, these poems provide moments of thoughtful steps away from now into the realm of hopeful possibilities. Recommended

Sherman Kennon shares his inner heart through his poems in Whisk of Dust: Too Unseen Distance. I don’t know enough about poetry to know about the rhythm or measure of these poems, but the words opened my eyes to see things the way the author does. My favorite poem is Focus. It is full of contrasts, yet I wouldn’t have noticed how often I look at the stars if I wasn’t gazing at the moon. Or how I longed for the summer amid the winter. His poetry is optimistic, expressing his love; and longing for peace from hate and war. Overall, I enjoyed seeing the hope that lives in Kennon’s heart as he puts it to pen.

Whisk of Dust by Sherman Kennon
This is a poetry lyrical book. I really liked that while I was reading all of the pages that really dealt with nature, the lighting, the sounds, and the smells it just really calmed me it put me in a nice place, very peaceful and at times energizing. Really great collection. I wish there were more from this author. I would definitely read more of their works.
Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

In these uncertain times, a book of poetry is a welcome escape.
These are beautifully written, heartfelt works of art, most are only half a page long, but are very impactful.
This book of lovely poems is exactly what I needed right now, to help me see the bigger picture and to take note of the love and beauty that are near.
I think I will pick up this small book time and time again.
