Sea Stones, Collectible Hardcover Edition (Book) - 2/17/2009 4:09:28 PM
Hi Steven I recently purchased your book "Sea Stones" I've enjoyed it. I like that you share all kinds of feeling's views and emotions in your work! My husband sat to read it and I must say I never heard him laugh so much. Your humor is inviting and welcoming what a great book! Kindly Laura Mckenzie :)

Sea Stones, Collectible Hardcover Edition (Book) - 12/18/2006 3:20:42 PM
I have read all of these poems, some many times. Very few things have given me such pleasure. A book to buy, to keep and touch, to read and love, again and again.

I have read all of the poems in this book and each came as a delectable surprise. This craftsman of the sonnet has skills in all corners of the poetic world. I recommend this and all of Steven's books to you. They are outstanding works of literature and you will not be disappointed. My wish for this poet is that he gains universal recognition for he has a talent that deserves acclaim and support.

The new book is out...wonderful!!! I can't tell you how much I love the cover too. The stones smoothed by the sea bring up so many peaceful images!

Those who were and are no more are images left from past folk lore. They leave no seed, nor life behind, as the newness of now makes former times blind. You live.

Dancing Naked in a Haunted House, Softcover Edition (Book) - 5/6/2006 8:17:08 PM
Stephen's poetry is a melody of whispers sifted straight from the soul! "Dancing Naked in a Haunted House" is a mixture of observation and deep introspection. The words leave easily followed footprints from a mind that shines with love, honesty and intelligence. This isn't a book full of 'purple prose'. These stanzas are bursting with meaning and brilliance.

Dancing Naked in a Haunted House, Softcover Edition (Book) - 3/10/2006 4:09:02 PM
"Dancing Naked in a Haunted House" is a brilliant collection of poetry that employs language as an art form. Mister Lance's work about the nature of writing poetry such as "Riding the Riddle" are so insightful that I found myself wishing that I had written them. He finds solace in practicing his craft and should inspire young poets to do the same.

Dancing Naked in a Haunted House, Softcover Edition (Book) - 3/8/2006 3:19:39 AM

Recapitulation VI: A Quarterly Review of My Poetry (Article) - 4/23/2008 4:01:41 AM
Good Morning Steven, "You are right for you: I am right for me One side for me and another for you Therefore let us agree to disagree And save ourselves the trouble to argue I look back over life and I can see It never seems to help when people do If others must then let them fight and fuss But all ideas are free to everyone" I quote This Because It Is Imperative for all to know (Those Who Don't) it is perfect in a gift of poetry's Wisdom as you express very well these important factors-life is to short.

This is a lovely page, Steven. Thanks for putting it out there. My problem with Goethe is that often his thinking is absolutist. You need to allow for the outliers. Outliers change the world. Wishing you peace today, --Bill Brent

A Working Theory of Poetics Expressed in Quotations of the Wise (Article) - 7/5/2006 2:07:32 AM
Steven, You have collected much food for thought here, if man could only stop for a few minutes everyday, and just ponder and think about why he is here, I think the world would be a much better place. If we all saw today as our last day we would definitely be making phone calls all of us. Indeed, as the Prophet Muhammad said (would appreciate if you could add that to your wisdom-collection): 'The truest words spoken by any poet are those of Labid: "Know that everything is vanity save God."' Thank you!

A beautiful tribute to your Mom - I am sure she is blessing you from above - Keep praying to and for her - no prayers are unanswered or WASTED - they are applied to another soul in need. 'lil flower

My "About the Author" Statement for My Fifth Book: NEW POEMS (Article) - 9/11/2005 5:57:42 PM
There is something to be said for reclusion. I never understood metric feet, or even counting syllables. I find that when I try to force a phrase I create crap. Actually, I have a feeling a great deal of what comes off my finger tips is crap, but it gives me pleasure, so I go on with it. I wonder though, do you actually count your syllables or are you just aware that they fit? I'm not sure I know what you are all about, but I enjoyed your explaination of why. Peace ~ Sara

A Letter from Hell to Heaven: In Memoriam Patricia Lance (Article) - 4/29/2005 8:34:06 PM
As I was bopping back and forth between dimensions on this Friday night, I saw the title of this piece doing the same so decided to drop by for a moment. With each word written here you help to construct a glittering bridge of enduring and unconditional love. Or, if you prefer: a shimmering philosophy of trascendent love. The best of what was given and received remains alive in the act of reflection and appreciation. With all due respect to treasured cynicism, much more heaven here than hell. Thank you for writing your soul so openly upon the page. And gratitude also to the one who inspired you to do so. Peace.

A Letter from Hell to Heaven: In Memoriam Patricia Lance (Article) - 4/28/2005 4:48:38 PM
Wow Steve.. I just read this 4 the 1st time! Sorry- I just came upon it, Powerful STuff YOU felt... (feelings) here. Mom is proud of her son, as she is looking down at ya'- I can tell, by the relationship you OPenly had with her. This saddened me,as a reminder of our parents we NEED to Always Love dearly...Thank you 4 that, Stevie- Love ya' -Lady,Sheee (Sheila) I hope your feeling more peace and love by now. Look deep within and keep writing- It will be a Blessing from above! :) Sweet Dreamszzzzz... I enjoy your Poetry! YOu just have that way of clamping onto the heart!

A Letter from Hell to Heaven: In Memoriam Patricia Lance (Article) - 2/16/2005 6:24:04 PM
Very touching and moving. You are truly blessed to have a Mom as your best friend...

A Letter from Hell to Heaven: In Memoriam Patricia Lance (Article) - 2/6/2005 2:42:10 PM
I am so sorry for your loss, Stevie. No words can convey or do justice to what you are going through. Both are smiling at you from "heaven" (whatever is your concept of it I am sure it is beautiful). Sorry to be so late with my sympathy but I did not know until today. Love, peace, and strength to you. Regis

An Appeal from the Author: Because of medical expenses associated with my recent mental breakdown and subsequent hospitalization, I can no longer afford to be here at AuthorsDen as I am. If anyone could sponsor me I would be everlastingly grateful. Otherwise these pages soon will simply disappear.

Good poem Steve.take care of yourself

Howling Moon (Poetry) - 11/15/2009 2:20:32 PM
Lyrical and with a tempo that makes me want to put it to music (if I knew how to play an instrument or even to sing). And yes, I would agree, "to go mad, would be to go free". No constraints or restrictions deemed "normal" by today's standards.

We Hope Who Live (Poetry) - 11/7/2009 3:27:50 PM

Steve, quite a jolt, reminding me of the severeal times my dad was drying out. In California, years ago, when alcoholics were trying to get sober, they would be placed in "Mental Hospitals" and everyone lived together. It was a mess! Nice write. Cheers, Dan

Smoking Like an Existentialist (Poetry) - 10/16/2009 5:04:04 PM
Haha!1 Your "Smoking like an existentialist" caught my eye as I was wandering around / The poem was a delight, but the line and the image of the Sarte's and Camus', etc. really floored me. I can see them holding a cigarette in the fingers, palms upward and being oh, so cool . . . gotta love it . . .

Modjeska (Poetry) - 10/11/2009 11:46:16 PM

As the saying goes, the past is history, tomorrow's a mystery, and today is truly a gift, that's why they call it the present. Nicely done.

Temporary Permanence (Poetry) - 10/8/2009 11:41:05 AM
IT IS A BLESSINGS WHEN ONE REALIZES THAT GOD FIERY ORB SERVES A FAR GREATER PURPOSE THAN GIVING LIGHT...IT WAS CREATED TO 'INSPIRE'...TO ENCOURAGE OUR OFTEN 'DOWN' SPIRITS, FROM DAY TO DAY. THIS WORK REMINDS US OF THIS IN A WONDERFUL WAY. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Love is God (Poetry) - 10/6/2009 8:07:34 AM

Love is God (Poetry) - 10/3/2009 4:07:11 PM
YES...GOD IS LOVE AND IT CAN BE IRRITATING SOMETIMES WHEN OTHERS DON'T SEE THE 'LIGHT' AS CLEAR AS WE DO...BUT THIS GIVES US SOMETHING MORE TO PRAY ABOUT...FOR WE ARE SAVED TO SAVE OTHERS. WHEN YOU CAN'T TALK TO THEM...PRAY FOR THEM...AS YOU MOVE ON. GREAT WRITE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
