Here are two reviews I have received concerning my book.
This is a quote from Victoria Treder. "I just finished Cindy’s book of treasures—each one opening her heart to the world, filled with wonder, anguish, love, descriptions of the amazing world around us. I don’t know how she can bear to re-read some of them, so full of hope that was later dashed; some so full of anger—but always, the serenity that she finally finds in her love of God. She has truly bared her soul, and her life, to all of us. She must be an inspiration to many, as she is to me personally, to not hide, but to put yourself out there, and take whatever comes. I hope that she will continue to document her passage through this veil of tears, hope, and joy, and share the next years’ longing and dreams and thoughts and remembrances as she has what has occurred so far. Please tell her thank you for putting down what the rest of us feel but don’t always find a way to express, and to share."

This book is Beautifully written and its a must read. The poems are about life, death, and all that falls in between. I promise the reader it will be touched and will be left enriched by the free flowing words and deep sentiments. Everyone can relate, men, women young and old. Its a Must read and a Great gift Idea! Thank you Cindy Smith."

I was gifted a copy from the author for an honest review. Ms. Smith’s words are from the heart and she even has them in sections if you’re interested in the fitting of your moods. I personally felt that more than a few hit home for myself and was pleased the way the voices in her head brought me to some unspoken words of my own. Thank you for allowing me the chance to read your thoughts. I’m looking forward to another awakening of your words

Ok, so what I know about poetry is that personally I hate a Grecian Urn!
Thus, my knowledge is far less than limitless!
The thing is, I dont need to disect these poems or to share the same exact life experiences to be able to get it!
Life, loss, tragedy and HOPE is central to this collection and I could and do relate to that!
What grabbed me most was the non-holes barred brute honesty of these poems which shocked me and made me relate all in one go!
Not all the poems are heavy or tragic and I could relate to the 9 Farmville farms .... Ok the idea of 9 farms since I started out playing these silly games as well! The authors view of the life beyond her window of nature and friends is one of simplicity borne from honesty!
But it is her honesty in tragedy and loss that most grabbed abd vied for my attention! Will you like it?
I dont know the answer to that! I know it touched me and made me say, but for the Grace..
So pick up a copy for yourself and meet sorrow and fun and see if you like it!

Its been a good long time since I've sat down and read some poetry just for fun, or because I wanted to, and this book ravishes the emotions I'm feeling today. Sometimes you just need to read for a passion, a rhythm, a dream, and Cindy captures the essence of it all through her words. This is a poetry book to get lost in, and live with daily. Something you can feel through heart, explore with love, and genuinely relate to. Beautiful words, fabulous layout, capturing voices.
Cindy gets 5 stars for not only her expressions, creativity, and word-flow, but also for her ability to tune into how one is feeling in the world today!
Thank you for sharing such a unique, delightful, passion-filled, beautiful read with us all.

"Voices in my head" by Cindy J. Smith is a lovely collection of heartfelt poetry, taken from the author's all day life, served with refreshing honesty and directness. I was quite taken by the down to earth character that I have not often found in poetry, but then I must admit I rarely take the time for poetry.
Smith talks openly about her family, friends and partner in rhyme, with obvious devotion and a little thing for Valentine's day it seemed to me. My personal favourites were her poems on nature and the seasons.
There is a lot of thought in each of those poems, not just heart ,which is probably why Smith chose the title.

...some truly moving passages...
...as with another reviewer on here, I don’t consider myself a poetry buff, but I found a depth of feeling and expression in Cindy Smith’s book which is absent in others I’ve read... there’s a sensitive edge of highly personal experience, some of it raw on the emotions... I also felt somewhat of an intruder with a few of them, which I suppose underlines how evocative they are... in the latter part of the collection, dealing with passages of Nature, there are beautiful outbursts which would do justice even in the best literary prose collections... well done, Ms Smith...

VOICES IN MY HEAD
Poems by Cindy Smith
Reviewed by R. Murry
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood was T.S. Eliot’s motto for writing. His name and motto I picked as a stepping stone because of his American fame and the appropriateness of using his motto in referring to Ms. Smith’s style, which is clear and comprehensible – no mental gymnastics required in reading her poems
I’ll give you a microcosm of her writing technique:
From poem: OLD MAN (My note: Man looking back on life.)
…You are thinking of your children
They are all full grown
“Where are they? How are they?
Why have they left me alone?”…
From poem: NEW LIFE (My note: Pregnant woman talking to unborn child.)
…I will try to show you
The best way that I can
How to love and respect
The whole family of man…
Cindy Smith writes from the heart. She, as in the poems OLD MAN, NEW LIFE, and the other in this collection of poetry, communicates in an understanding way that we all can relate to. I am happy to say that they meet T.S. Eliot’s motto’s criteria for being genuine poems.
Being an old man and a father, 65 years old with two sons, LOL, I connected right away with these two poems. I read them a number of times because of their theme and the easy flow of the thoughtful words.
I recommend that you purchase VOICES IN MY HEAD for your bookcase. Take it out every once in a while and quietly read a good-hearted word or two. These poems will take you away from your everyday life and make you feel good about yourself, or not.

When I was asked to review a book of poetry I was a bit unsure as it is not my usual thing so I enlisted the help of my daughter who does read poetry so you get 2 views for the price of one!!
Heather said they are well written with a degree of sentimentality with is reflected in the reader and the reader can see clearly how dear the people in the poems are to the author. The reader can then encompass these feelings and take them on, perhaps recognising them and associating them with a person in their own life.
I thought that they invoked some very powerful emotions although for me there were a couple that were slightly too personal either as I do not actually know the people myself or perhaps I felt like I was invading their privacy but I believe that may be more of a reflection of me than the author!!
All in all I enjoyed reading something different and I will certainly keep this book on my kindle and re-read parts from time to time.

10+*s. WOW...I fell in love with these awesome poem of loss, love, tragedy, and hope, but my favorite and the one that sticks out of head the most is 'Happy Birthday, Dave'. Though my name is not Dave, I actually felt that this poem was for me because its what I felt when I turned 35 last year. Each one of these beautifully written poems hit my heart and life in so many ways. Some made me smile while others brought tears to my eyes. The truth and honesty in these poems are remarkable and how the author reaches everyone. There is a poem that will combined with everyone's life in the past or the present. This is a RECOMMENDED MUST READ for all ages to enjoy and connect with on a personal level and make you want to read over and over again!! A truly memorable book of poems that I will cherish and re-read. Thank you, Cindy J. Smith, for this Jenny Bynum award winning book of poems!!!

As an English major in college, I've read my share of poetry and have even written some, which was why I was so excited to read Voices in My Head. Cindy J. Smith writes beautifully. The poems are touching. The feelings are relatable. It was refreshing to read this book of poems! I loved every second of it!
June 12, 2013
This book had me laughing and crying. I loved each and every word in this lovely book. As a lover of poetry and a fellow poet. This book Rocks. Congrats. Cindy Smith. I recommend this book to all who loves a very well written book that touches your soul and stays in your heart.

I love poetry so much. It shows so much strength and heart to be able to write. Thank you Cindy for opening up to us all and letting us read your beautiful works of art

Voices in my Head is such a powerhouse of free verse poems that will resonate well with the reader. Author Cindy J. Smith has a unique way with words—ones that penetrate to your inner core bringing out different emotions. I had to call some members of my family just to tell them how much I love them. Her world will become your world, as you will find yourself relating to so many situations in this book. I hope these voices keep speaking to the author as I’m looking forward to the next installment.

Every once in a while I am in the mood to read something deeper to suit life and feelings - this collection of heartfelt and honest poems seem to reflect events and moods we can all relate to. I feel as if this is a book I can return to when I'm in need and can simply look up the poem that suits and re-read it with a fond feeling that it will describe my situation just perfectly. I think everyone should own a set of poems to ponder and enjoy and I cannot recommend this book enough. If you only buy one book of poems this year, it needs to be this one!

Thoughts from A Gentle Nature
In this poetry collection, Cindy J Smith reveals her sensitivity, her religion, and her longings.
It’s heartfelt and honest but, in my opinion, the rhyming schemes and metres could be improved. Poetry is a demanding taskmaster and more variations, as well as bolder word choices, might enhance her output. Her poem ‘Opinion’ makes me hope that she won’t take my suggestions amiss.
It is admirable that Ms Smith lays her soul bare and isn’t afraid of sharing hurtful parts of her life. In that, she shows her poetic and gentle soul.

A wonderful selection of poetry that examines a lot of different emotions and does them justice. Each time I need a boost or a hint of inspiration, I know I can flip to a page and find a poem that speaks to me. Excellent work, as always, Ms. Smith!

I want to preface this by saying I'm not really a poetry reader. I read the eBook version which did not seem to be formatted right so the poems jumped when going from one page to another. -- NOTE: The author informs me that this was due to the copy of the file she provided me. -- Most of the poems in the book were of a very personal nature and dealt with subjects I was unable to relate to.
The first section of the book "People in My Life" had too much of a personal memoir feel to it and I was unable to relate to the stories Cindy was telling. However, her reminiscence about her Farmville addiction in "FA Addict" was great. The second section "Nature in My World" was painted with a much broader brush and the pictures were evocative of some of my own experiences. "Aurora Borealis" was a favorite. Her "Visions in My Mind" section was also a winner with very enjoyable poems like "Child's View" and "Magic". In the "Days in My Years" and "Pieces of My Heart" sections she reverted again to poems of a more personal nature, except that "So Hard", which was clearly written for and about a specific person, was done in a non-specific enough voice that it built some true resonance.
As you can see from the other reviews there is some good work here for fans of a more abstract type of poetry. I think that if your personal life experiences were similar to Cindy's that there are some poems in here that you would find meaningful. While I liked reading the book and found some very enjoyable work here, I would have to say that I was unable to relate to most of the poems.

This collection is about love, sorrow, even grief, melded in the crucible of life.
The author, Cindy J. Smith, is a truck driver who is blessed with a natural gift. Often while driving through the night, when all is quiet, she is hearing these voices flowing through her mind. She sees herself as their vessel. They force her to deliver them to paper, and she does so with a gentle hand, making her mark with simplicity, and with heart wrenching honesty.
Here are but a few of these voices in her head:
The winds of change are blowing cold
Within my world today.
My dreams of love and happiness
Have all been drawn away.
And here, an excerpt from OLD MAN:
As you sit out on your porch
In your old rocking chair
Wondering why no one
Ever comes visit you there
You are thinking of your children
Are they all full grown
Where are they? How are they?
Why have they left me alone?
And here, from OH, MY CHILD
I’ve been wanting to show you
How very much I care,
But you are in your own world
There’s no room for me there
If you love poetry, Voices in My Head would be a treat for you.
Five stars.

Poetry is one of those things I have always enjoyed. I'm a bit of a dark romantic, so this was exactly what I was looking for. These poems are...true, to say the least. Sometimes, the things we need to hear the most go unsaid and the things we need to see the most go unseen. People who expose these things are considered "cynical" or "insane"
After all, these are the voices in her head. In each poem, she outlined major changes in her life, but maybe also outlined the troubles we fight every day as a society. If you are afraid of accessing a bit a truth, don't read it, but if you are an activist who desperately wants to see the world changed, read her poetry. I can guarantee that something in this book will make you reflect and ultimately change your life for the better. Her experiences shouldn't just be read, but try your hardest to visualize and feel what is on the paper or tablet.
Kudos to Cindy J Smith for being brave enough to have an opinion in this dark world!

Let me preface my review by stating I do not read poetry books but I am exploring new genres to read this year and thought I would give this a try. I can say unequivocally that you can truly feel Cindy J. Smith's heart poured into the writing of each of the poems.
There were some I could so relate to, some I couldn't relate to at all, some lighthearted and some heavyhearted. I know there are at least some poems that everyone can relate to in reading this!
A couple of the poems I felt I was intruding on Cindy's life, they felt so deeply personal. Yet in thinking back after I finished reading, I can see that Cindy is sharing her journey in these poems and it's not an intrusion, it's a reflection of experiences that may help others.
If you enjoy poetry books, I think you should give this a read!

Beautiful heartfelt poetry covering the broad spectrum of human experience and emotion. Poems express in fewer words what novels seek to convey, but you need to have a certain way with words to be a poet, therefore poetry is harder to achieve imo. It is a great feat to be able to touch readers with fewer words. I believe poetry is a rare gift, one that I myself rarely can conjure up. A great book of poetry reads swiftly and leaves you with a lot to chew on for days, weeks afterward. Highly recommended for poetry lovers, but also for human beings who enjoy the joy of reading, the joy of the written word, and the simple touch of fellow humanity to let you know you're not alone in this world with your feelings of sadness, anger, despair...and happiness, love and hope as well.

I saw the title of this book and thought "with a title like that I KNOW I'm gonna like it". I clicked the link and read a few samples and found out it was a book of poems. Never expecting that some of them would effect me as much as they did. But there was one that touched my heart so much that I made contact with the author to see how I could get myself a signed copy. I read the book in 1 day. I could feel myself starting to have a panic attack so I sat down to read and this book seem to have the effect I needed to not have an attack. I am so glad I found Cindy and hope to so much much more from her. BRAVO CINDY!!!

I wouldn't call myself a poetry guru, but I loved these amazing poems. Some are about love, others about loss, but they are all about this crazy thing we call life. I can see many on Hallmark cards. Everyone will find at least one of these poems touching, because they all pulled on my heart strings and one titled "Old man" hit the nail on the head. Give this book a try and you'll see, the poems will tear you up, make you think and make you appreciate life, maybe even restore your faith in human kind. I guarantee you, you'll find at least one poem that will hit close to home.

I do enjoy immersing myself in poetry, and Cindy J Smith's Voices in my Head provided the perfect opportunity to do just that.
In this collection of poetry, there is an electric mix of topics, themes and styles, though all with a voice that is clearly Smiths. Many of her poems are beautiful and emotive; I especially enjoyed Heartache.
Filled with powerful imagery and depth, her poems provided me with time for escapism. A thoroughly enjoyable collection.

Filled with powerful imagery and depth, her poems provided me with time for escapism. A thoroughly enjoyable collection.

I usually don't read poems but a friend told me about it. So I had it and finally gave it a try. For me perosnally I had a hard time because of the way is showed up. Seems to be some issues with formatting and corrections. From what I read some were okay but some were dark. Some of them were pretty and I enjoyed. I guess if I could read it better I may have given it 4 stars but since I couldn't I gave it 3.

I loved "Voices in my Head" by Cindy J. Smith. Ms. Smith has a way of drawing in her readers with her great work. I love how the author left a piece of herself in each of the poems. Whether it was pain, love, loss, joy or sorrow you can almost feel the emotions with her through these amazing poems. I would highly recommend this book for everyone.
