"""She touches the hearts of her readers by emphasizing the importance of connection to the extent of narrating one of the most powerful things a human can have; control over its own thoughts; freedom to be what one wants to be in this life...The way the author combined different elements like imagery and alliteration produces a harmony of words, making it a masterpiece."" Jewel Vanilli, www.goodreads.com ""The story teller can hide behind their story; a bad writer can get away with it if the story is great. But a poem? It has to speak volumes in usually less words than a short story, sometimes only a few lines. It has to have the rhythm of music. The poet's language has to be broad so that there is little repetition. The poet has to be seen to be in control. Camille Barr with her work 'Behind The Facade' succeeds on all these counts...Poets will appreciate this work, non poets could learn how to appreciate poetry from this work."" John Eliot, Poet ""Ssh"" ""When we think of poetry, we usually think of romance. We think of the thought provoking messages it's endeavoring to communicate to our hearts and minds. When we look at a building all we can see is its outside, its façade, hiding all of the complexities which are lurking behind it. What the author, Camille Barr, I feel has attempted to do in this book of poetry is give us a combination of these two...she gets her readers to use their minds and realize those wonder thought-provoking messages her poetry contains, which is why I've given Behind The Facade 5 STARS.""
