It was a unique book and I really enjoyed it. It was the first for me also and I would happily recommend it to you. It won't disappoint.Janelle Juncos wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 07:28 What a unique perspective! I don't think I've ever read a book of poetry that had a historical fiction slant. Thanks for the review!

The long poem was a story and the other poems were interspersed through it as well. Yeah, I enjoyed reading the book and I hope that you will consider reading it too. Thanks for the comment.unamilagra wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 21:49 This sounds like an very unique book. I like that there is a continuing poem throughout. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It is more than a collection. The story in form of a poem had a lot of lessons and these can only be picked if one reads the poems carefully. Thanks for the review.diana lowery wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:19 This sounds like so much more than just a collection of poems. I like that it tells a story. I am glad you included the literary devices and the themes.

I appreciate your feedback.danielleamy wrote: ↑14 Apr 2019, 11:26 I rarely read poetry, but this sounds like a great collection.

Thanks for the comment on the review. This is a book of its kind. A part from handling various themes, the main poem that is narrating a story will keep one glued to the book to its very end.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑16 Apr 2019, 18:16 I don't usually pick up many poetry books, but this one looks like it could be really interesting. The main character sounds like a very brave woman.
Great review!

Thanks much for the wonderful comment and reply on the review. Yes, I would encourage you to pick this one. It is really fascinating and memorable too.labibliofile wrote: ↑15 Apr 2019, 11:45 I love how you mention that the different poems are interconnected with each other and fraction by fraction makes a complete story! I don't normally read poetry, but this may be an exception seeing how it covers different aspects of life - something for everyone and how emotional it is! Thank you for the recommendation and your insightful review!![]()

My main fear is normally the fact that poems can be quite hard to interpret because without the interpretation, the words remain dead on the page. This one was a bit different however. You can give it a try. Thanks for the review.Vscholz wrote: ↑14 Apr 2019, 14:18 I am afraid to review poems because they are so subjective--they break conventional grammar and punctuation rules, and I'm also not exactly well-versed in poetic analysis. I'll give this one a try, though, because it seems more like a story told in the form of a poem rather than poems expressing emotions. Thanks for the review!
