A World Diverse by David Edmond is a poetry book that brings the themes of love, loss, faith, life, death, friendship, and feelings from the author's perspective. The first part of this book is Faith, which has reflections about God, praying, believing, and love. The second part of this book is entitled Friendships, which brings the aspect of life's fragility, the importance of friends when you are in a difficult situation or when you need support, and how people shouldn't be afraid of asking for help when they need it. The third and last part of this book is named Feelings, which talks about happiness, love, life's path, the difference between solitude and loneliness, and some of the author's experiences.

Each part of this poetry book begins with a black and white photograph that illustrates the compositions' ideas. My favorite image was the one at the beginning of the second part, which shows a soccer game with a couple of friends. I liked the fact that the picture reveals the familiarity among the players and their involvement.

My favorite aspect of this book was the author's style. Edmond uses simple but heartfelt metaphors that captivate the reader, such as when stating the similarities between humans and flowers. The poems don't have rhymes, but some of them contain repetitions that create a smooth rhythm. Besides, the author constructed sincere and spontaneous verses with deep meanings that represent the author's feelings and thoughts with freedom.

There's nothing to dislike in this book. It also seems professionally edited since I didn't find a single error in my reading. Besides, since this is a poetry composition, the author has the creative license, which promotes spontaneity in the sentences and allows the reader to develop multiple interpretations.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It's a unique composition that brings intense and profound reflections about faith, friendship, love, happiness, sadness, and a lot more. I recommend it to those readers who enjoy poems without rhymes that talk with sincerity about personal feelings. However, I don't recommend this book to people sensitive to the themes of loss or loneliness since the verses might be triggering. Besides, this book is better suited for Christians since the first part of this volume is focused on the aspects of faith in God, Jesus, the importance of praying, and being grateful to Him for His compassion and clemency.

This sounds like the author opened his journal and turned his thoughts on life he had scribbled down into poetry format. Sounds intriguing. I'd love to read the poems on faith, love, and God, in particular.
