Seven Kindle Edition

by Antonio J. Hopson (Author), Katie Doemland (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 31 ratings
See all formats and editions
It has been said that there are only seven stories to tell: overcoming the monster, rags to riches, voyage and return, the quest, comedy, tragedy and rebirth.
7 is a collection of each of these different ways to tell a story, using the medium of poetry to entertain the reader, with an intuitive contemplation of life and observations.
There is a graceful feel to the work; sometimes written with humor, sometimes purely carnal and occasionally with a tinge of sadness, it is a book which will open wounds and then lovingly tend them again.
With offering such as the thoughtful, ‘Men Like Me’ or the short and snappy ‘A Kiss’ you will find that each one tells its own story and each one can stand alone, while still contributing to the overall feel of the book.
This is a stunning collection, written in a thought-provoking hue, by a man who has a distinct and easy style. If you love poetry and enjoy being immersed in the thoughts of someone who has experienced life in all its raw forms, then 7 is something you should not miss.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I was engaged. This involvement increased as the diversity of the collection grew, which, in turn, augmented the complexity of the book as a whole. As I read on, the book meandered through somewhat traditional love poems, minimalistic pieces, poetic prose, rhyme, and even what you could call a short story... My favorite, however, was the final poem, 'What May Come, Will Come.' It stands on its own, while also serving as a gorgeous finale..." --OnlineBookClub

Antonio Hopson writes with the sense and instincts of a Jack Keruoac, combined with the cultural eye for detail of a Chuck Klosterman. All five senses thrive when reading his prose, which moves through you like the Snoqualmie River itself." -Jon Horowitz, The Wonder Boy Review

"

"Antonio Hopson spins gentle legends and quiet love stories. From biker goddesses to mythical tricksters, from feuding winds to debauched taverns, the subjects of 'The Vernal Equinox of Death and Kisses and Other Short Stories' reveal the author's romantic enchantment with the world around him, even when it's at its grittiest." -Dru Pagliassotti, Editor in Chief, The Harrow

"Instead of cannons, Antonio J. Hopson uses words as his weapon of choice in the poetry collection Seven, and that for the most part focuses on a love affair. Amazingly, his use of words gives the impression that this affair--at least for him--resembles the carnage of the Crusades... Hopson is a poet of promise... I wanted to have witnessed this fire in more of the poems in this collection. I look forward to reading more of his work as he, and the rest of us, navigate this life (which can be of carnage at times) with the light of words." --Elvis Alves, The Compulsive Reader

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Antonio J. Hopson is not content to write in one genre. His poems, short fiction and novels employ the use of different styles, voice and perspectives to tell a story. Fences are not his thing. Antonio was born and raised in South Seattle and now lives in Shoreline, Washington State. He attended the University of Washington and studied Environmental Science, going on to teach biology after graduation. He has always had a love of writing and for poetry in particular. His works of poetry, speculative fiction, flash fiction and essays have appeared in numerous publications and he has received Farmhouse Magazine's Reader's Choice Award, performed at several events and has won recognition as an EPIC Award finalist and a 2016 Pushcart Nominee.

Antonio's books include "Seven", a poetry anthology that spent three weeks at number 1 on Amazon's hot new releases. Antonio hopes to continue publishing and crafting stories in the future and is always on the lookout for new ideas for his stories and poems. And when he isn't working on new poetry, he likes to relax by painting, cooking, playing ping pong and scuba diving in the cold waters off Puget Sound. He also enjoys soccer, taking road trips and going camping in his '57 Security trailer with his two boys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Antonio Hopson shares himself
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2015
Verified Purchase
Romantic. Erotic. Sensual. Thought provoking. Amazing.

Antonio Hopson shares himself, his life, and his observations with us in this book, and does an amazing job of doing so. He does an excellent job of taking everyday situations and romanticizing them, for example, crows going about their business in the short story "A Murder of Crows". Some of the other poems, such as "Have it My Way", will have you reaching for a cold beverage and a fan to cool yourself off. A must read, and this would make a great date night, snuggle up close, before bedtime read. Nice work, Hop. Son!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hopson writes about love, lust
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
In this collection of poetry, Mr. Hopson writes about love, lust, and heartbreak. We are also treated to some of the more quirky parts of his mind. In each case, the poetry is honest and generous. Mr. Hopson does not hide behind rhythm, meter or fancy language but uses his talent and voice to tell us a story - or rather all seven of his stories.

The poem about the trumpet and jazz and blues is a great poem. Trust me on this and read it. The rest of the book is good, and I want to read more and the fiction. But, if there had been only this one poem, I will always be glad that I found it and read it. Thank you.

Heart and soul from the poeta salvaje himself. At times bittersweet and achingly tender and at others playfully sinful, Hopson writes with all the passion of a man who has embraced life fully.

There is an effortless deftness with which Hopson weaves these storiettes. They are, at the same time, raw, minimalist and sophisticated. There is comfort in the astral theme that runs throughout; this authors life is clearly informed by the stars. Simply beautiful.

By turns playful, romantic, mournful, and thought-provoking, the author packs a lot of heart into this slim volume. The poems are bursting with startling and beautiful imagery. A delightful read.
