Reviewed by Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite

Become inspired by philosopher, historian, linguist, and political activist Avram Noam Chomsky as author Jeffery Martin demonstrates through poetry the artistic inspiration that he garners through Chomsky. Muse Moments: Poetry Inspired by Noam Chomsky by Jeffery Martin comes to life through the poems created by the author through his muse, Chomsky. Watch how the author unleashes his creativity in a collection of over twenty beautiful poems that were inspired by this relationship. The reader will see the expressive vibe of the intimate discussions with Chomsky that spoke of history, politics, and social consciousness. Just like Chomsky has done throughout his life, the author brings that same energy to share with the reader. As you walk through the pages, imagine an intimate conversation being shared between a mentee and mentor. As the author states: "Yes, one person can make a difference. Of that, I have no doubt."

I love poetry and was definitely in awe of how Jeffery Martin was able to channel and be inspired by Chomsky to develop these emotions through words on the pages. The author immediately and continually pays homage to Chomsky by displaying his love and respect for Chomsky, for his contributions to the world, and his impact on society. Words of expression are not always easy; sometimes silence speaks more as in the poem, Silent Noise. The reader will enjoy playing chess with the author as he chooses each word carefully within the poem that creates an explosion in the mind of the reader. Every word will make the reader want to know more about Chomsky as the author did. There are so many poems that it's hard to choose a favorite but a few include Habit, Coins in the Desert, I Wish A World, and Beg. Want. Discovery, due to the rawness of the lives that others live that no one seems to see or care about. Muse Moments will have the reader embracing and hanging on every word. Enjoy!
