BOOK REVIEW: “My Modern Woman” by Giscard Nazon is a book that begins
with its’ cover, back and front; if you get ‘it’ you will get it. Everyone will
not be able to appreciate the length and depth of this single poem that took 57
pages to write.
As I read “My Modern Woman” I felt the unique rhythm of the
words written by Giscard Nazon as he weaved faith, politics, life and relationship
into a prophetic message. His words were more than a celebration of womanhood; they
were a warning to those who do not pay attention to the events of the day and a
reminder of God’s word. None of the words written were subtle yet if you have
difficulty following the flow of poems that do not rhyme the book may be difficult
to understand.
I enjoyed this book
and I do recommend it. However, the very thing that makes me like “My Modern
Woman” is probably what will make others not like it. This poem made me think, like Psalm 119
(which I love) I had to read some passages over again. “My Modern Woman” is not
something you will read one time and grasp every concept presented.
Upon successful completion of this book you may find that
there are some things you agree with and others you do not. However, the fact that you completed the book
is an indication that Giscard Nazon did exactly what the book cover promised:
it got you to think about your faith, your life, your government and your
relationships, all in just 57 pages.
I recommend this book. This is a book I would purchase. Marsha L Randolph
I received a
complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair review. This I have done.
