Read Ebook If This Gets Out, by Tony Sims
These poems were written over the past twenty five years. Tony Sims came late to poetry, prompted by an impulse to make sense of the world.
Many of the poems have appeared in well-respected poetry magazines, both in this country and the United States, but this is the first time he has put together a collection for publication.
For a variety of reasons this first volume is also his last.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Narrative, social commentary, and strong experiences. By Jim Bennett In the first of some sixty-eight poems you will meet The Chair, an excellent introduction to Sims and his non-trivial view of what appears simple. Conversely Words of One Syllable shows (off) what can be done within a strict limitation.Sims will make you think. For example, in I Died Yesterday, the narrative tells of disaster in first person. What hits you later is, that the earlier examples are probably wartime or civil conflict, but the last one could be in any modern city.For a marvelous piece of interpersonal tension, turn to Recrimination. In a sonnet, no less. Followed by The Difference and Valediction, also tours de force of relationships in trouble.More light-hearted is Seasonal Love, which has smooth rhymes you notice on a second reading.A major favourite here is the longer narrative poem Pharisees, which is told in first person. Here a few quotes to whet your interest: “We all saw it, all of us who were there, /caught in a bubble of blue morning, /glinting in sunlight and swaying in the still air.” Then this: “Later in the day, when we returned /and told of our encounter, the smart sophists /and clever Pharisees got down to work...” followed by this: “And so what we had all seen, or thought we had seen, /crouched for a while in crannies of the mind, /but by evening, for most of us, had slipped away...” By the end of this poem, you might think back to the title of this volume. The unusual will not be believed by those whose expertise consists of knowing the usual, and that’s that.Even in the short poem Numbers Sims puts a life experience into your mind. Two becomes three.For another such experience turn to Soldier, where we find this (spoiler alert: major quote follows) “He went away to a war /made him tough and wily /put inches on his chest /to hang a medal from /taught him cap-badge Latin /potted regimental history /bizarre geographies of bar and brothel /drilled him in simple skills /with bayonet and grenade //when fully trained/unleashed him on a hillside/ in the crump and panic of a battle /among psalms of singing shrapnel...” The poem goes on a great deal from there, and the story continues.Scrolling for the tiny carps? maybe a typo and maybe an echo. In short, nothing. Back to the good stuff.For a fascinating life story, turn to My Hollywood Upbringing. Sims can certainly use a theme as a vehicle for a fine narrative poem.For a personal experience (from a woman’s point of view, no less) turn to Men in My Life. Told in rhyming couplets; I should mention that Sims can rhyme very well when he chooses.I am not quite half way through my notes. I found many more fine poems in this collection, including some shorter whimsy ones which are a lot of fun. I could continue this review and easily double its length, but I think that this is not necessary. You should now have a decent feel for the quality and content of this work.Back to the star count. My personal guidelines, when doing an ‘official’ KBR review, are as follows: five stars means, roughly equal to best in genre. Rarely given. Four stars means, extremely good. Three stars means, definitely recommendable. I am a tough reviewer. I try hard to be consistent. This is an exceptional work. Five stars was an easy decision. Extremely recommended.Kindle Book Review Team member.(Note: this reviewer received a free copy of this book for an independent review. He is not associated with the author or Amazon.)

Each is short enough to chew on for my morning walk, yet I find myself dwelling on the nub of it much of the day. I am so glad I bought this.
