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!

This sounds like a great book to peruse. However, I guess I will skip this over because I'm not the poetry type. Excellent review

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! :)

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!

It is a unique way indeed and I really enjoyed it. The poems were made easier to interpret. Thanks much for passing by and dropping the comment.

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.

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.

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.

You can include this in your list of poetry books to read. You will enjoy reading it as much as I did. I appreciate your feedback.

Great review!
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.

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.
