If you are looking for poetry to introduce to a thoughtful soul, a lover of poetry, kids, schools, and humans in general, it is great to start with The Fragments of my mind: the delicate lines to this place and time, by Steve Anc. It's all about hope, hopelessness, love, self-care, power, fame, war, peace, and death. It also displays the beauty of poetry as part of wordplay, and it is also important to know that the poet (Steve Anc) recognizes and explores that aspect in this anthology. The touchstone of the old and modern literature has been utilized in this anthology and its best criterion for judging it is how the poet learned the art of blending it with modern literature within these pages.
In school, I argued with the literature instructor over what makes a poem "good." I can't remember who won the debate, but I rarely give up. His opinion was a "good" poem had precision and order. I advocated that a "good" poem has emotion. This is the first work I read by Steve Anc. He is a precise, literary writer who writes with emotion to the point of abandonment. His few words move you and make you feel. For me, this is what I want from poetry, an instant gratifying escape from the day. Hannah J. Brussard, Pittsburgh, PA.

REVIEWS ABOUT THE BOOK"After studying thirty-nine of the poems in the collection, The Filthy Hands & Other Poems, I am left with a feeling of joy, happiness, accomplishment, and peace. The journey took me to a faraway land in Nigeria. Words, images, culture, and dreams came to life in the poetry. The author did an amazing job of creating vivid scenes and colorful lives. The narration is well crafted and shows the versatility of the author as they were able to create many characters with varying character traits and ambitions. I would highly recommend reading the entire collection on more than one occasion. It has been an interesting ride through the poetic mind of Steve Anc."Katina Woodruff Borgersen USA"I like poetry that makes me think and reason through the artist's mind, and that is exactly what Steve's poems urge us to do. His collection in this book presents a dare to discover and to embrace a moment in time that he wants the reader to mull over for a while and come to a conclusion after reflection. In my opinion, that is the mark of an excellent writer. I thoroughly enjoyed Steve's gift of poetry to evoke contemplation of life." Cherie Leigh Sumner, North Carolina, United States of America"The Filthy hands exposes the true nature of situations in most areas of life. I can relate this message to the injustice and cruelty that affects our society today politically, economically, educationally, environmentally, health-wise and, so forth." Utti Adaeze Ifeanyichukwu, Dubai, UAE"I loved all of his poems. He has the great taste of poetry and literature. Most of his poems reflect the nature of beauty, love, and romance. Steve Anc is an addition to the assets of literature. I wish his work get acceptance and attention it deserves. Best of luck." Ahsan Siddiqui, Pakistan"I've never been attached to poems until I came across this series. It's entertaining and very informative at the same time. My favorite poem in this book is "A joyful heart". This poem is tailored to good people like you so that we can help make this world a better place. Understanding other people's feelings and placing ourselves in their shoes can make them feel better. Steve Anc is indeed a lover of words." Amos Gikunda, Kenya"I read all his poems and I'd say that poet Steve Anc is a beautiful addition in the world of literature. His poems inspire the reader more to know the modern way of poetry. Love as usual is the soul of every poetry and Steve Anc's poems are a blend of love, romance and also an attraction towards nature. In his first attempt, he has achieved what most poets don't. He is a shining star in the world of poetry. May his work renowned & he make progress by leaps and bounds in his work." Muhammad Azad, Pakistan"A deep and thoughtful writer. When first read I was not sure of its meaning until I rationalized it could be a rape victims' dilemma. You have a vast vocabulary that you draw upon. The deepness of the poem stems from hidden feelings that she cannot escape. It lives within her. Good work Steve."

Written by a man who saw the day his father died. Written by a man who saw rain with thunder and lightning. Written to the man, who could read between the lines; who had felt the pain of the loss of a loved one at one time or another. He who could purchase spare time to ponder on the reason for living. He who sits on the seat of now with the touch of memory of after now. He who remembers the merriment and the memory after the merriment. Written to a man with either a church or a creed.Written for all men regardless of birth. By free or fair, live for now with a fair heart, for the joy of life is in now and the pain of the dead is in the grief. Reviews "I just read Ode to the Moon and Hope, and the intro of your book and had to have a little cry...you know that I lost my mother three years ago? It touched that part of me, so seen from art's point of view, you did very well." Brigitte Gerlach, author of Pteridophyta and Autumnfire, Germany Thank you for sharing this wonderful book of poetry with me. I lost my best friend at the beginning of Covid, and it's been very difficult. I enjoy reading poetry from other poets' points of view. You did an excellent job. 5 stars
Here is a book that leaves a footprint on the heart. I am fine: don't read this poem is one of those deep, sad, and metaphorical poetic books that are supposed to be read with unbroken concentration. Cleverly, each poem introduces answers to lots of ever-asked questions on peace, mental health, humanity, and self-love and the poet ( Steve Anc) had you in mind during the entire writing process. Also, I am fine: don't read this poem is filled with broken pieces, ugly truth, and lots of lines for those that have been mentally misunderstood. The mood of some poems becomes much darker more intense and hard-hitting as you read.Finally, this book can also serve as peace for many souls, strength for the fading eyes, and self-care for the forgotten.
