Review of A Brighter Tomorrow

[Following is a volunteer review of "A Brighter Tomorrow" by Lori Schneider, MD.]
Do you enjoy poetry?
I would like to recommend a book to you even though you're not. "A Brighter Tomorrow" is an exquisite compilation of poetry devoted to several themes: World Wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, love, animals, etc. Additionally, lovely pictures by the gifted illustrator Dr. Mark Salevitz frame the text. Let's take a closer look!
In my opinion, Dr. Lori Schneider's book goes beyond its appearance as a charming little coffee table book. The author included a few poems that were either dedicated to her family or dealt with weighty subjects. Nevertheless, the writing style is clear and free of superfluous metaphors. I also want to highlight the excellent editing job; I found no misspellings or grammar mistakes. It demonstrates how much work the author put into this book.
Not mentioning Anthony Jones, the poetry advisor who assisted with this book, would be impolite. Even one of Anthony's poems is included by the author. However, I didn't find these two writers' writing styles to be very different from one another. Because it appears harmonious, I consider it a major plus.
It might surprise you that even though I'm not a fan of the genre, I had a good time reading this book. The book summarizes human history on both a global and local scale rather than actually imparting knowledge. Still, I believe that we need more books like this. We need them to cheer us up on gloomy days, to join us in our morning rituals with a cup of coffee, and to clear our minds after an intense day.
In summary, I rate this book 5 out of 5. Even though the author is not a professional writer, there is nothing in this book that I would like to change or eliminate. I highly recommend this book as a starting point into the world of poetry for everyone.
