Reviews JAMES SCHWARTZ READERS

"James...you sound fabulous!"
--- RuPaul


" James...thank you for your collection of poems....it was wonderful to read how Kabbalah changed your life, especially with all your hardships and challenges."
--- RABBI YAHUBA BERG
Author of The Red String Book


" A James Schwartz Reader is as diverse and as well written as the author is diverse and well spoken. The subjects vary and I´m sure everyone will find something to relate to. I hope you take the time to truly read it. Inside you will catch a tiny glimpse of the man I have come to call my best friend and life mate."
--- APRIL HOSKINS

"I glad to receive a note from a young poet with Michigan connections, one whose voice I quickly took to. I love the ability of poetry to explore the inexplorable, to venture into ruined territory, into the places words aren’t supposed to visit."

--poet Patricia Jebbah Wesley

Reviews THE SCARLET BAND: A Review by April Hoskins

The Scarlet Band is a well rounded trip into the many facets of writer James Schwartz, showing he is both talented and versatile.

In these troubled times it is hard to get people to read at all. This book did manage to keep my attention from front to back and I assure you this is no easy feat. Most works nowadays simply spout politically correct drivel. This may be tolerated by the masses but not by me!

Now, poems of special interest include Hurricane (Prince Bee), April's Song, I Am A Vessel Like A Ship (Resh's Remix) and The Apartment. These are a few of my favorites.
