Reviews

  • [Romantic Riddles] is perfect for those with romantic, philosophical souls who are inclined to explore poetry.

    Blue Ink Review

  • Button’s collection is the best and most thoughtful assembly of poetry on the workings of the human heart to date.

    Jesse Bookman

  • “Love” – a passion that can only be captured in the moment of lust, desire, longing, pain, confusion – an overwhelming state of emotion. It takes a talented individual to invoke and relate "those" feelings that we have all once experienced/are experiencing, and I would say that Button has accomplished this masterfully.

  • The work completely pulled me into Button’s world. Every time I thought, "this is my favorite" the next one I read would intrigue me just the same. Love, love, love it. I don't even know what else to say. It is truly beautiful.
