REVIEWS of Edouard d'Araille's works:

"This is technically fascinating and moving poetry." - Late Professor John Bayley writing about 'In a Short Space of Time' (1999)

"This is a text of the highest order ...] It is a beautiful poetic work that relaxes and soothes the reader, but at a deeper level requires close reading to draw out the subtle meanings hidden within the text ...] really worthwhile as it is an anthology of rare genius and beauty." - Barry Page writing about 'The Complete Poetic Works of Soma Amritah' (2002) on Amazon.com

"There isn't a single type of poetry missed out of this anthology collated from ten poetry collections by Edouard d'Araille - the tragic and comical, romantic and political, nonsensical and mystical are all in here. This author writes fearlessly and in a concise, punctual, gripping style. His words keep me in a state of poetic suspense." - James Hartley on 'Words Can't Hold... - A Decade of Poetry' (2010)

"The most romantic book of poetry ever published." - 'Great World Books' review on 'Love Immortal' (2015)

"From the opening quote by George Orwell down to the post-finale 'The Last of London', this is a visionary and spectacular work of poetry that plays with words like they are some kind of verbal plasticine. This is an author from whom one never knows what to expect. He startles me at every turn with his outlooks on our Humanity." - Melissa Frost Reviewer] on 'WMD: Words of Mass Destruction' (2017)

"This is a wonderful piece of work and a real contribution to reading literature. It is a really beautiful book." - Professor Shlomo Izre'el writing about 'Adapa's Ascent: A Myth of Man & Immortality' (2020).
