Liquid Reflections has been over a six year labor of love. The written word has kept me sane and having the gift to express it in such a beautiful form is one of my greatest accomplishments. Having it published is an even bigger accomplishment. Something I just felt would happen one day. Oddly enough, I am still wrapping my mind around the whole idea of it all!
Every piece of prose in this collection is a part of me. It is me becoming vulnerable to the world, something that has been the most difficult thing for me to do. However, as an artist, a writer, it's something that is a necessary evil for the sake of the success of my work. I hope those who read this will be able to see it for what it is.
Knowing there are going to be people out there reading my work is so humbling, but is rewarding all the same! I am looking forward to hearing the thoughts of my fans and readers!
Poetry is a fluid process...unlimited flow of genre,idea, concept...it's as natural as breathing.
So many people have made this book possible! It is a true labor of love and I feel as if I have released a child out into the world. With all my vulnerabilites on my sleeve, I offer myself to you as my readers. It is an honor to be among other amazing poets and authors who share the same heart and same stitch of fabric that gives us the well-spring of creativity!
Excerpt
"Liquid Reflections was chosen as the title for this collection because liquid is how the thoughts flow out of my mind, from the pen, to the paper. Reflections are how my poetry reflects who I am; it reflects every emotion, mood, and desire. It is also a reflection of how I see the world; Abstract realism is what you might call it. Imagery and metaphor seem to pour out onto the page, it comes as natural as breathing to me..."
...New sensations abroad
Take into account
the victory of time
Believed to shine
Exceeding in my eyes.
-B.M. Song "Precognition"

The poems are easy to relate to in that they touch on common subjects such as love, passion, grief, anger, and spirit. Each poem has a different rhythm and feeling, similar to a river that ebbs and flows, the poems move along a path that is personal to the author. The reader is along for a fluid ride of an emotional landscape.
B.M. Song writes from a part deep within herself. Each word in each poem is purposely chosen. Song has produced a work of varied poems that will touch each reader in a different way.

In life, if you only had one chance to shine, write as if it were your only opportunity to grace the world. If she never writes another book she has already left her mark on the world.
Liquid Reflections, A book written by B.M. Song was a fascinating journey through the mind of an exceptionally intellectual poet with the ability to captivate every human emotion. Her poetry is massively ingenious and written with a brilliant intervention.
I was very impressed by her collection of diverse ideas and conceptions through each poem. The book is broken down into 5 parts; Part 1, Fire-Breathing Soul, Part 2, Ravenous Tears, Part 3, Forbidden Deities, Part 4, Realm of Fantasy and finally Part 5, Vocis Deus. My personal favorites include Vortex, Beautiful Enigma, and The Chocolate Factory.
Overall this was a magnificent read!"
Review by, Dreama Tran-Author
Beautifully written in a way that flows wonderfully and captures the reader's attention. Full of romance, love, sorrow and fear; this is a collection of poems that most everyone will enjoy and can relate to.
Review by, Dreama Tran
Author of Isaiah's Story: My Baby's Fight for Life
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
