APEX BOOK REVIEW (New York, USA)
Your Chance To Hear The Last Panther Speak is an eclectic mix of musings by renowned author Chase Von. Broken down into four sections - poetry, song lyrics, quotes, and short stories - Von's collection takes courageous leaps in addressing an array of topics, covering life, death, and everything in-between.
For those who have become disillusioned with the state of modern-day poetry, particularly its overemphasis on love & heartbreak, you will find the versatility of Von's poetry quite refreshing. He masterfully weaves his way through a tapestry of topics, gracing each with a deft touch that exudes the wisdom of a seasoned veteran. For example, in "Being A Man," he reflects on many of the superficial trappings of manhood, ultimately coming to the following realization:
"Now I see
Maybe being a man means
Caring about those
Who will come after me"
And he even waxes nostalgic in this tender passage from "To My Daughter":
"I don't give you all you want
You'll eat that dinner
If you want ice cream!
You can pout all you want
You can even say
..My Daddy's mean!'"
Just as moving are Von's observations on religion, the breakdown of societal values, and the consequences of sexual promiscuity. Also, the stinging commentary veiled within the poem "Mr. White Man" provides a candid look at racism, that, while uncomfortable, is much-needed if true honesty will ever be established in the ongoing dialogue of race relations.
Among the most striking of Von's musings is this profound sentiment regarding the personal introspection we should all perform from time to time:
"Don't live behind the walls that guilt built
The longer you stay incased in that tomb
The harder it becomes to break free
And write a new and different story
With the pen
That is your life"
With such motivational insight, one could envision Von as a counselor or personal life coach, helping others reach their full potential on an everyday basis.
In an "Author's Statement" that opens the book, Von explains the significance of the book's title as his personal take on the fact that creators of great artistry often go unrecognized before their passing. If we truly are to "give people their flowers before they die," Chase Von should be swimming in a sea of daisies everyday. Your Chance To Hear The Last Panther Speak is altogether haunting, arresting, and inspiring, and a highly recommended read for anyone who has grown tired of the bland commercial offerings currently saturating bookshelves across the country. A welcome addition to the world of great literature, one can only hope that this opus is truly not our last chance to hear more from this promising young talent.

Title: Self-Expression Through Words
Your Chance to Hear the Last Panther Speak by Chase VON is a book with an assortment of readings including poetry, song lyrics, quotes and short stories. Mr. VON has a way of expressing a variety of feelings that can touch the lives of all of us. Reading poetry of love, relationships, reality of war, society and just plain life experiences was moving. I found myself challenged by the words in the quote section of his book. I read them over a few times, wondering how they apply to my life and how I think. The book ends with several short stories, written in a format where I could visualize the scene and hear the voices as I interpreted the words.
Mr. VON has a writing style that grabbed me and allowed me to travel through the book, reading the words out loud with a great appreciation for his form of storytelling. At times his words are of a soft and gentle nature, then switching up with a more aggressive tone. I got a sense of Mr. VON's personal life and the diversity in his own background through his writings. From identifying as Black, Native American, with possibly some French, to being born into a military family, serving several years in the Armed Forces and having held a variety of very intense job positions, I learned a lot about who the man was. I was able to feel his desire for love, his sense of family, gratitude for his friends and love of life.
The wonderful thing I find in reading books like Your Chance to Hear the Last Panther Speak is in the ability to read the book, put it down, to pick it up at a later date and still have a great appreciation for the author's gift of words. I highly recommend this to readers that appreciate poetry and short form storytelling.

The measurements of love
Often cannot be articulated
One feels it and one knows
And hopes that another
Can grasp the full meaning
But love is rarely a choice
It is what one feels
Compassion on the other hand
Is something that can be measured
In a way
Through the gratitude you see
In the eyes of others
And the warm feeling you have
That fills your heart
Knowing you helped someone
When you didn't have to
Because compassion
In addition to being a feeling
Is also always
A choice
