Book One

Oceans of Thoughts

“I am always fascinated by the story of people's lives. I've always been fascinated by poetry. "Ocean of Thoughts" has both. It tells the story of the author, set to rhythmic poem and poetic devices. There was a lot of thought and care put into this book. I recommend this book to poetry lovers and to people who like memoirs. It is a beautiful book.”

“Reading the poems in Oceans of Thoughts took me on a journey to my inner self. I particularly liked the Tribute to her sister who passed. I enjoyed reading about her island of Dominica and her childhood. It was a very good read and I would recommend that book to everyone.”

"Very beautiful, Very well thought out. I read every word out loud. Oceans of Thoughts is a book that must be read from cover to cover. I appreciate the courage of the author and positive thoughts on the theme of death. Death is indeed a daring conflict. It is the permanent, irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. I love how the poet displayed the emotions that threatened to flood her soul."

Oceans of Thoughts

“This second book gives me a feeling of peace. The story of life pours across the page in beautiful prose and it is clear the author chose each word with care and thought. Worth reading on a relaxing, lazy Sunday afternoon, or even after a long day to unwind and reflect on life in general. Looking forward to more work from Ms. McClean.”

“Wow! Not everyone was a member of a musical band, but those who read this will appreciate and identify with the struggles and challenges we all undergo on our life’s journey only to emerge as champions because we have followed our dreams while learning from our mistakes and failures. Well done, Rosalind.” I enjoyed reading about her island of Dominica and her childhood. It was a very good read and I would recommend that book to everyone.”

“Just a few days back I came across a book, a collection of poems that I really loved reading and it's my pleasure that I got the chance to read the second book already. Just like the first book in the series Rosalind Severin McClean, penned down some beautiful and insightful poems. This time focusing a bit on the musical history of the Dominica DA telling us about the first female band of the Dominica music and how they took control of the full music culture back then. The book has a lot of poems with themes like innocence, spiritual, intense, lighthearted explored in a way like never before."

Oceans of Thoughts

“This book is a beautiful dive into the depths of spiritual connection, explored via poetry. Through vibrant language and thoughtful imagery, the author lets us in on how all living things are linked, not just through physical presence but through emotional and spiritual bonds.”

“Oceans of Thoughts as the name suggests covers the myriad range of thoughts that need to be explored and exposed. Thoughts of spirituality, materialism, humanity, optimism, pain etc. have found expression in such a way that stirs the emotions of the readers. Most of the poems are the minute observations of different aspects and phases of life, its complications etc. The poems in this collection not only highlight the problems and ills of life but also find solutions for conquering the ills of life. The history of sports in Dominica during the 1960s and 1970s is an exciting one. Also, a highly influential series about her father, Mr. Clifford A. Severin, as well as some fascinating history about Saint Arromant in Dominica have been written. Her youthful vitality and detailed description of her life growing up in Dominica were palpable. The lyrical poetry is thought-provoking, captivating, and meant to start you on your inner journey. The readers should definitely have a dive in this oceans of thoughts to pick and choose the pearls of their own choice.” I enjoyed reading about her island of Dominica and her childhood. It was a very good read and I would recommend that book to everyone.”

A poem could really get you emotionally invested. When you read a certain poem it may seem that it was written just for you. It's impossible not to feel some kind of emotion. Poetry can give you a different perspective. Since everyone can interpret a poem differently it can expand your horizons widely. I enjoyed reading the poems in this book, they are very inspiring, positive, and uplifting. A poem could really get you emotionally invested.
