Hello!
I was pleasantly surprised this morning when poet Lauren Scott notified me that she had posted a review of my book on her website. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I feel honored and touched by her generosity. Thank you, Lauren, for your beautiful and humbling review!
“Ariel’s Song by Dawn Pisturino is a beautiful and evocative collection of sixty-five poems – a collection that she lovingly dedicates to her daughter whose name is Ariel. The poems were written over a period of three decades touching on topics of love, family, children, death, nature, and the unique. Some rhyme and others are free in their styles from traditional sonnets that invited me to contemplate, to twisted limericks that made me laugh. I had many favorites, but I’m sharing snippets from a few, otherwise, this review would turn into a novel. . .”
Please go HERE to read the rest of the review.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Dear Dawn,
Hello! Congratulations to you! I would like to inform you that I have submitted the following long comment to Lauren’s Book Review of “Ariel’s Song”. The comment is awaiting approval since it is my very first comment submitted to her blog. The comment is duplicated here since it pertains to you and your book.
Dear Lauren, Dawn and Everybody,
Congratulations to Dawn on the publication of her sixty-five poems in a collection entitled “Ariel’s Song“!
We hereby welcome our fellow poet Dawn Pisturino’s poems being featured so well in an excellent blog post of Lauren Scott!
How evocative these lines are:
Loving Nature, I can’t help but repeat the following lines:
I would like to resonate with such an imagery in the poem pictorially as follows:
Lauren, I would like to commend you highly for featuring Dawn’s excellent poems. We all find many aspects of her poems to be memorable, authentic, imaginative and engaging. Thank you for your impressive effort here.
May all of you have a very happy May and a fine late springtime doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most, whether aesthetically, physically, intellectually or spiritually!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle🦅

Dear Dawn,
You are very welcome. Thank you very much for your heartwarming reply. Such a milestone of publishing your sixty-five poems in a collection entitled “Ariel’s Song” is not to be trivialized, unheeded or forgotten, and thus deserves a critical review from Lauren. I would hereby like to celebrate your milestone and resonate with your dedication to poetry by complementing the spirit and beauty of your poetry by inviting you to participate in the 📜 Collaborative Poetry Challenge ✍🏻 in my post metaphorically entitled “📈🌆 Growing Humanity with Artificial Intelligence: A Sociotechnological Petri Dish with Latent Threats, Existential Risks and Challenging Prospects 👨👩👦👦🤖🧫☣️“. The detail on how to participate in the challenge can be found in the said post published at
Overall, this post provides much more than just an avenue for some people to take up the challenge of exercising their minds and poetic flairs. It also presents a great opportunity for readers to learn something in an analytical and critical way. As a concerned citizen, farseeing thinker, former educator and (largely) retired multidisciplinary academic, I tried my best to discuss and analyse the various issues and offer some solutions, as well as posing ten critical questions about the future of humanity and artificial intelligence. After all, artificial intelligence is so ubiquitous nowadays that whether we like it or not, and regardless of the degree of our avoidance, disdain and/or apathy, our lives will be affected even in the absence of our knowledge in one way or the other.
May you enjoy reading my said post during the weekend!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle🦅
