“Not for Art nor Prayer” was reviewed by Mariah E. Wilson of Corner Club…

“I’ll give this collection five stars. Though I usually gravitate toward short poems, Mr. Demaree has a way of writing a poem that makes the reader need to read it again and again. And even in his longer poems, he still manages to somehow be a man of few words. I’ll definitely be reading this collection again.”

Jennifer Criss of Indiana Voice Journal wrote a very generous review of “Not for Art nor Prayer”.

“The best word to describe the poems within the pages of his anthology is real.  They’re so very real.  Real relationships, real conversations, real observations without being overly floral or dramatic.  It’s easy to forget that these tiny pieces of our everyday can be beautiful and meaningful.  I think in this work the author wants us all to stop and take a closer at our surroundings and the people in our world and appreciate them a little more.”
