Reader Reviews
TaurinV explores the journeys of love with thought-provoking lyricism. His gift for imagery and evocative word choice “...I ignored overcast skies and tried to poke holes in foreboding clouds with beams of optimism” enfolds readers in a mystical world of his own creation. That world welcomes us into his quest for a dark muse. It is a journey worth taking. - Dr. Yvonne Kendall , Adjunct professor of music and writing
The Dark Muse Chronicles, takes the reader on a journey that meanders through various levels of actualization and acceptance. Taurin forces us to enter his realm with each poem, we become spectators and overseers of a tumultuous love story. The use of art melded with words further paints a staunch imagery of the innermost feelings and thoughts of the journey. The reader is left wondering who is She.., you want to meet her. - Ramon Carty
The Dark Muse Chronicles is a beautifully penned book. This exceptional write is masterfully worded, exuding the beauty and love for the Muse in this, a magical read. I highly recommend this book along with a wine and a cozy spot to enjoy. Taurin has methodically drawn the reader in with a talent for whipping words that wrap around the reader, pulling them into each page. Never mind the initial tug, you won’t care as you navigate page after page of hypnotic rhythm compelling you to continue. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Our closed cover and empty wine glass calls to this Author to write a follow up book already!! - Valerie Lorraine
Absorbing the artistry of Taurin V is not only an experience, but it is an open invitation to
journey into a portal of shadow, light, substance, and full-figured form. The book opens
with an introspective inquiry, a foreshadowing of recipes to come in pages unseen.
Intimately intertwined with his words, the reader is met with poignant images, evoking a
mystical, animated exploration of the author’s musings. With probing intensity,
intentionality, and a searing lens through a gamut of emotions, the reader is forced to
confront what is often uncomfortable, to heal hearts punctured by heartbreak, and life
transitions. If you are looking for a multifaceted dive into intricate layers of intimacy,
love, loss, redemption, prepare to be transformed in your thinking, broken open by its
transformative depth. - Taneeka Wilder
