Love Always Theory ~ Review from The Blue Room

Love Always Theory by Theron Kennedy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As Poets the world over clamor to get their words heard, Theron Kennedy took up the task face on with his release of Love Always Theory. Straight up...this is not your grandma's poetry. The read is fierce and fast paced, with brutal honesty, an agonizing longing and a lyrical flow that will have you wanting to step to a mic and spit the words out loud for the world to hear them. There is hunger, physical and spiritual...there is lust, shameful and sweet, their is anger, frustration, but above all, there is love. This goes beyond the she/he and drops names, lending character and even more depth to his pieces and is a very smart, smooth way to fully engage the reader. When he rhymes, it is brilliant, and when he doesn't, you still get lost in his flow. A well packaged, beautifully presented collection that has to grace your poetry shelf, ESPECIALLY if your a fan of contemporary works. Personal favorites include holding hands in hell,Versify and Take Me With You near broke my heart. This is one reader who will not be detaching from the work of Theron Kennedy anytime soon.
