Mae Bea Sayes compiles her poems in The Graveyard And Other Poems. I chose this poetry collection because I enjoy reading poems since they teach me new things about the world. In this poem, Mae Bae Sayes tries to discuss graveyards, awakening, the afterlife, and atonement. The description of the book's cover piqued my interest.

Mae Bae Sayes writes about her life, her love, graves, the afterlife, awakening, and salvation in her poems. I was able to articulate the precise qualities of the poems with the use of a dictionary, which improved my understanding of the poetry. Based on ideas she has had about her career path since she was a small girl, she turns poetry into striking illustrations.

My favorite section of her book, The Graveyard and Other Poems, is where she describes her early years. Her early memories were fascinating, and they made me go back to my younger years. And it was easy to understand because of the figures of speech used. The section of her poem titled "Angel in the House" is another feature of her poetry that I appreciate. It was easy to comprehend her feelings when they were expressed in the chapter.

I didn't dislike anything about The Graveyard And Other Poems. According to her, "All in all, we treated our souls to a new diet encapsulating the times and followed trends pivoting our country," she said in Book 2: The Stately Pines. And I found that assertion to be quite intriguing. This claim is so controversial that it inspires me to add that everyone should be aware of races to prevent extinction. This book's use of literary devices held my attention from the beginning to the end. The poetry, which I truly liked, got easier to understand toward the end. I would undoubtedly read the next book in this series.

I rate this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It was incredibly engaging, skillfully written, captivating, thrilling, challenging, and educational. I found no errors in this novel because it had been professionally edited. Mae Bea Sayes wrote a beautiful book. I applaud her for doing a great job.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I heartily recommend this poetry to everyone who likes good poetry interpretation challenges and poems about the afterlife, the human spirit, and redemption. It is highly recommended that you read the entire thing from the beginning to the end.

Despite the odd nature of the book's major theme, the poems were enjoyable to read, and I loved how the author articulated her thoughts. Just the same way I enjoyed reading your review, thank you!
The gift turned out to be a curse. They killed him with kindness.
