Javan is one of my favorite poets of all time! Someone very special that I dated almost 20 years ago bought all four of Javan's books for me. I've kept them but they've lost pages and come apart after all the years. They are so beautiful that they were worth replacing. Javan really opens your eyes and your mind to appreciating love regardless of what the outcome. He also helps you find peace in heartaches and lost loves. Whether you're in love, longing for a lost love or you love beautiful artwork expressed by words on paper, will be able to relate to all of his books. I guarantee you will fall in love with the words on these pages and the author, Javan! You will read each book in one sitting..and will not be able to put them down. You feel so fulfilled after reading them. I just can't explain enough how great these books are!They make great gifts! It's the gift that keeps on giving.A small price to pay for something that gives you so much!Enjoy!
This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. I came across it during a particularly unhappy time in my life, and while it didn't come close to fixing things, it moved me to tears and still does. Read it, and share it with anyone you love.
These books have helped me through every difficult situation I have encountered. I am amazed that I can re-read them over and over and still be moved by the emotion and sincerity in the words. This is the best set of books I have ever owned.
I received this book among the four-book set of Javan's poetry as a Christmas gift in 2003 and didn't put them down until I was finished reading each of them. Then I read them again...and again...The poetry within Javan's pages is elegant in its simplistic nature. Instead of intrepreting each with your mind, as with those of the more formal, literary (cold?) genre, you will find that you read them in the format intended - translated with the heart.Sometimes it is in the simple that one finds the genius of something and I found this particular philosophy easy to think while reading Javan's verses.I can understand the appeal of his books to a wide audience because Javan's are very open, honest and the life topics written about, apply to everyone - regardless of gender or station in life - never leaving a hint of bitterness in the afterthought of reading.The story of Javan's journey to publishing sucess (located at is web site) is also interesting and inspiring.I recommend any of the four books written by Javan, especially to any who never before thought they would enjoy reading poetry. Check out the prices of each book - they can't be beat and are well worth the value!
"At the end of each dayWe should beOne step closerTo what we should be"The pages are unnumbered and there are no titles. The pages like shadows of rippling water in a beautiful pond or dry desert sands blown across a vast escape are classically arranged and present poetic musings of a deep heartfelt nature.The third poem is a profound start to a book of pure poetic longing. Javan expresses his inner turmoil over life's paradox. He expresses his need to seek balance between two extremes."For while some people haveA shoulder to cry onIt is the destiny of othersThat they must cry alone"A few poems are a prayer and others resemble a poet growing through changing life circumstances. The wisdom from a life well lived all while fighting the human condition and realizing the need for human connection.Javan is a sensitive soul touched by beauty and he expresses his thoughts in poems that read like beautiful gifts from the heart. Now and then you meet someone amazing who sends you a poetry book of great meaning. "Something to Someone" is a beautiful gift where your soul can grow. Thank you!~The Rebecca Review
This review is long overdue. I was given this book by a mentor of mine in high school, fourteen years ago and have always kept it safe and reread it at least once a year. She has a very special place in my thoughts. Without her, I would not have written several poems of my own. I can relate to what the words are said here in this book. Sometimes I wanted what the pages describe to everyone who reads this book. Finally after years, I found that Special Someone and know that I am Something to Someone.
The entire Javan collection exposes the emotions that go straight to the heart and soul of each of us. They express love, loss, growth, and spiritaulity that brings tears to the eyes and encouragemnt to the soul. Javan needs to write more of these inspiring books. These words are from his college Biology Lab partner at Brevard College 1966. Having known Javan makes the words even more meaningful.
It's like a best friend I pull out to remind myself of what matters most when I'm going through a rough time. That sounds sappy, but it really is a great book.
