Product Description
Straight From My Heart is a collection of poetry and essays that represent the reflections, observations, emotions, and experiences of one human being in this journey of life and its infinite possibilities. This project has been three and a half years in the making and has been worth every ounce of my creativity, determination, and perseverance to capture a piece of my soul in the spoken and the written word.

straight from his heart to yours January 19, 2003
Bill Holmes' metaphors comfort you into visualizing yourself in the midst of your sweetest memory, like in his poem, "Timeless": "The delightful harmony of a songbird's symphony touches my heart in many ways like the caress of a midsummer's breeze grazing against my skin...." His first book of poetry, Straight From My Heart , is an honest, passionate and intellectual offering from one man's heart to yours. This book is a pleasure to read because it offers up the many perceptions of the intelligent, creative and heartfelt Black Man, in America. Holmes' poem "Miracle" is one of upliftment for our children who dream to achieve all that they can. His poem, "The Pleasure is Mine" reveals the emotional, sexual and spiritual connection he has for his woman, "a strong, positive Black woman who works hard." Every page offers up a delicious taste of soul, heart, love for community, God, self and his female counterpart. This book is inspiring!
A "Thimk"ing man's heart! December 10, 2002
The short review - You will "feel" this book! Buy it now!The longer review - I happened to see Bill reading his poetry at a friend of mine's book signing (Angel aka Datgal) at October Gallery. There were quite a few poets reading that night. Bill happened to be sitting right behind me near the back of the audience. I briefly spoke to him and found out that he was also an author like myself. He didn't initially come across as a writer, even though I sensed "something" about him. Bill is just a cool guy in general! So when he got up to read his poems, it was electric! Bill definitely feels deeply, especially for the ladies! He had them talking about him after the performance! It impressed me so much that I set up a book signing/reading for him at a friend's restaurant and bookstore (The Nile in G-town). I wasn't surprised at all when the audience cheered him on! I got him to autograph a copy of his book for me and I read it the next day. It's an intelligent, thought-provoking, and emotional read. Purchase it today! Vincent Lopez
