Ebook PDF She Of Thorn: Poems and Rhyme of a Heart Unkind, by Kalynn Campbell
Poems and prose of unrequited love and loneliness. Take an emotional ride with the vulnerable heart of artist/writer, Kalynn Campbell, as it enters the tempestuous and callous world of “She”. Written at the end of a volatile love affair with a married woman, the poems and prose of SHE OF THORN tells the story of a love-in-vain enslavement to a cruel ineffectual heart. The poems also reflect Campbell’s lonely struggle with AvPD, a form of self isolation. To immerse oneself in the She poems is to bathe in a tormenting ache of unrequited love, only to dry-off with the stark cavernous void of inner loneliness. Best described as ‘Leonard Cohen meets Shel Silverstein’, Campbell’s work is as moving and thought provoking as it is whimsical and lyrical.

I was witness to the sad, almost spooky metamorphosis Kalynn went through as despair By EVGENIYA I happened to meet the author, Kalynn Campbell, right after he broke up with the woman the poems are written about so I know the inside story of "she" very well. I was witness to the sad, almost spooky metamorphosis Kalynn went through as despair, pain of loss, anger and emptiness all set in. Being personally involved in the story, I tried hard to ignore the poems he began writing on a daily basis. I saw them as just his way of displacing pain onto paper.And now I find myself holding a book. A book I’m afraid to open, as if it’s a real life Pandora's box.I flip though it - the first page, then the second... No, it drips with too much pain. I put the book away. Smoke and thoughts fill the air... For hurting him so badly I hate ‘she’.The book calls to me. I go back to reading and his words draw me in. It’s dark out as I finish, I didn’t notice the sun had gone down, the poems had me mesmerized. I no longer hate ‘she’, I am now hopelessly jealous (I think any girl who reads SHE OF THORN will experience a bit of this). How I wish I was someone’s "she" and they dedicated such powerful heartbreaking words to me. How I wish I had touched someone's soul as deeply as ‘she’ touched his, to be the importance of someone's midnight cry.If I was asked to choose between a stable sugary love story relationship, one with a ‘forever after’ ending - or an unpredictable, futureless, intense love story with an outcome of soul wrenching pain (not even getting a final "goodbye”), I would not think twice. What the author and ’she’ had, what the words show, what the poems say, is that the deep intense love, no matter how it ends, is forever. The author will take ‘she’ to his grave.And years after that, people will flip though the book - the first page, then the second... and say, “no, it drips with too much pain” and they will put the book away. But through a cloud of smoke they will find themselves reading it again and again. One of the saddest love stories ever written.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A must read. True talent. By K.A. Dan Wonderfully written taking poetry and writing to a higher artistic level. A highly emotional ride that will leave you thinking long after. Depressing and lonely but there is something else in the words. Something powerful and it stays with you. Well worth your time to read. A real talent. I love the cover as well. The poems are well structured/formatted and looked great on both my Kindle and my Kindle phone app.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The real, uncompromising voice of a life unkind. By Adam She of ThornThe best poetry is not a choice; it is a visceral need; it is not written because the poet wants, but because the poet must. ‘She of Thorn’ is beautifully painful to read: the words co e straight from the deepest regions of the poet’s heart, they feel like they have exploded onto the page, staining it with the very essence of emotions that are too strong and real to be left untold. Coming from Kalynn Campbell struggle with Avoidant Personality Disorder, a condition that makes you feel inadequate in social situations, so that you avoid contact with people (and haven’t we all had moments when we just can’t face the looks of others, their faces, their laughter?), these poems have, in their own shape an layout the sound of loneliness echoing on the page: the lines are short, leaving most of the page blank like a soundboard for feelings; each line invites the reader to stop, think, and, what’s more… feel!From the very beginning, the She protagonist of the book, the She who owns the speaker’s heart and dominates his thoughts is presented as an impossibility:‘She of pastin silence creeps’… We have to stop and think, this is an image both beautiful and eerie; She steps into the scene so slowly, almost demanding attention, and yet we are told from the very beginning that there is no future for them, and within the beauty of the sound of the words, she is presented with a disturbing touch as ‘creeping’ and leaves us powerless spectators of our emotions, now ruled by She, whom we may never meet, but still are bound to love. The impossibility of relationship becomes more poignant as we turn the pages, and in ‘The Already Gone’ we read:‘of mine She is notof future not longon briefness I kissthe already gone’The complex vortex of need for love fighting against the void of lost, or never had, hope is created by the contrasting imagery carried by split oxymorons, as if in this very split resides the unbridgeable distance that haunts the whole connection like a shadow we cannot rid ourselves of.The imagery in ‘She of Thorn has a metaphysical quality: the poet draws together images form very distant places and areas of experience, for example, in ‘She of Gem’, we find the that, instead of the commonplace comparison of blue eyes to the sky, we are presented with an original drawing together of sky and legs, bound by the washed out colour of old jeans:'under skyof tattered bluecloud-bleachedjeans slidepast sun-lickedcurvesand buckled knees.The emotions are more vividly thanks to the poet’s use of a range of rhythms and melodies, from highly lyrical lines of one words, to poetry in prose; emotions speak to us at different paces, sometimes relaxing, sometimes contracting, if I had to compare this book to music, it would not be to the predictable and repetitive experience of a pop album, where songs imitate each other with no surprise, but to a Wagner opera, where slow, almost inaudible movements turn into powerful storms.Thus, in ‘Why’ the question shouts on the page as it must have haunted the poet’s mind from morning to dusk, a single, unanswerable question:Why'should Iremembera loveShe forgot’While in ‘The Connection’ when the rational mind, seems to offer the glimpse of an opportunity, poetry becomes intense prose, only to melt again into poetry at the end.‘She of Thorn’ is an outstanding collection of poetry worthy of recognition: it is honest and incredibly well-written, it doesn’t compromise meaning to form nor from to meaning; the two come together in a unique voice that will stay with you long after you have read it.
