Acclaim for Flashes of Emotion
“Author, poet, journalist
Augustine Sam lives in Venice, Italy - that most romantic of all cities - and
offers this collection of his poetry for romantics and those looking for
meaning in the many challenges life offers. Augustine’s poems glow with musical invention and the manner in which he elects to
place his words on the page enhances the meaning and the beauty of these works...Liquid
flowing music from a
poet who understands passion. His eloquent poems speak to each of us as private
as a whispered conversation. Brilliant.”

“Flashes of Emotion by Augustine Sam has a
classical edge, yet feels current in its raw energy. Poetry, simply put, is not
like this anymore, which makes it all together unique and refreshing. I enjoyed
the deep description and rhythm as they are quite different from my own
writing. You won’t find words or thoughts like these at slams, or online,
therefore it is well worth your time.”

The
Kindle Book Review
“Masculine, Effective &
Pristine - In Augustine Sam’s Flashes of Emotion, the use of language
and allusions to cultural norms is masterful, while his tone plays the chasing
dawn of a morning sun we’re unwilling to wait and see. This
collection affected me... those poems Augustine Sam rocked were outstanding. I
recommend Flashes of Emotion to every poetry lover who wants love songs and
outside angles from a tender, masculine perspective.”

“This collection deserved to be published.
Its well-composed verses are a prime example of thought-provoking poetry—a
marriage of Old World charm and modern day romance. A ‘must have’ for anyone
who has ever experienced love, pain, defeat, or joy.”

“Journalists can be a pretty soul-less
bunch at times, and while they are great at communicating hard facts they are
generally less adept at expressing their feelings and their sensitivities.
That’s not true of all journalists, of course, and it certainly isn’t true of
Augustine Sam who has somehow managed to combine a career in mainstream
journalism with an equally successful career as a creative writer and poet
extraordinaire, picking up awards and accolades left, right and center for his
amazing poems. This anthology allows us to tap into Augustine’s insights on a
wide variety of topics from life and love to death and drudgery - a collection
that showcases this journo-poet’s lively, refreshing, and innovative style.”
