Book Review: A Viking’s Prayer

A Viking’s Prayer is a book of poetry written by Aidan Lucid, owner of The Lucid Review. His recently completed book deals with many real life issues, including homelessness, disabilities, religion and aging. It also covers historical events in a very creative manner.

Of note are some of the poems that I enjoyed the most. The first is called The Sanguine Thirst, which is a poem about a vampires’ need for blood.

I also enjoyed the title poem, A Viking’s Prayer, which tells about a ship at sea and a viking battle.

A Beggar’s Plea deals with the important issue of homelessness. We get a look at this life through the eyes of a beggar. Also of note is Don’t Cast A Blind Eye, which also deals with homelessness.

Echoes in the Wind is by far my favorite poem by Aidan Lucid. I will leave it up to you to discover why when you read the book.

Order your copy at A Viking’s Prayer.
