PRAISE FOR DON GUTTERIDGE’S POETRY:
"God’s Oddities by author and poet Don Gutteridge is a collection of poetry that combines life-long lasting visuals with the most palpable of emotions. Three of the specific lines that demonstrate this strong capability are on page seven - “like the tangible tears I felt/when you left me without/saying goodbye.” The voice that he carries throughout its entirety is one that appears to find beauty in all moments and in all things. And in an expert way he creates this connecting strand that brings the reader in with him. His poetic assembly of words brings to mind Shakespeare and Byron. However, Gutteridge’s work is imbued with the most delicate modern touches that keep the reader with one foot in this current world and one foot in a past we have never seen or touched. God’s Oddities is sixty-six pages in length, but creates a permanent reverberating sensation that carries on for much longer in the best of ways. Poet and author Don Gutteridge’s God’s Oddities floored me with its beautiful still-on-the-page but moving-in-the-mind words. The gamut of emotions that are on the page, that feed back into you, as the reader ... you truly feel like you are swapping bodies and minds with someone else. I feel that’s the best way to explain it. No other author or poet I have ever read has ever left me with that particular feeling. Don Gutteridge will bring you deep into his life in a way that only he is able to do and it’s a panoramic journey."
