I found Surrendering to the path by Robert Eugene Perry a very enjoyable read. Like wandering a wooded path with a dear friend, at times the conversation was light or fanciful and in turns it also spoke of deeper & darker emotions but in all, it shared the human experience with a gentle genuineness & I ended the collection feeling thankful for the journey.
I look forward to future works from R. E. Perry.

This book is delightful. Robert has an ability to weave eclectic words into many different types of poetry yet they complement each other. I judge poetry by the emotions it brings into my awareness so it is very much a journey through a realm that is fresh and relevant.

Robert's poetry breathes with the sense of one who has found peace amongst turmoil. His hard earned wisdom and sense of the calm after the storm, is bestowed upon all who surrender to the path.

The link between the ordinary and the divine is the stuff of Robert Perry’s poems, and readers will have no trouble experiencing his vision. Commerce and daily life swirl around us while the eternal center holds, and Perry relishes our fragility as “the moon drives us to madness with its beauty”…while we seek that “sacred stillness.”

Robert's poetry hits many notes...being both strong and soft, quiet at times while saying much all at once...giving way for us to explore his thought further as we process our own thoughts and feelings. Reading his words, I see myself walking in the paths he describes, seeing nature and life as he does though I'm on my own journey.

To read the poetry of Robert Eugene Perry, well-crafted verse filled with astute observations of both the natural and spiritual world, is to accompany the author on a journey of often profound yet joyous contemplation on his way to personal (and universal) enlightenment.
