This book looks beautiful, your excellent review just aids in adding more beauty to it. I love nature; i love poetry, but nature and poetry combined is something else! Thanks for the review.

I enjoy poetry. This book seems to express a lot of sentimentalism. There is a variety of emotions. Thanks for the review!

A good collection of poems brings warmth to the reader's heart. I guess this book exactly does that to its reader. If it can make you cry and also help you enjoy the beauty nature holds what else can you ask for. Great review.

Sounds like an excellent poetry book with a unique aesthetic value. This was an amazing review of the book that sold me on it and luckily for me, the book is free on Kindle Unlimited. Wish me happy reading.

Thanks for the review, but I'm not into poetry, and this "emotional rollercoaster" will not be the exception.

This sounds like a beautiful collection of poetry. I love the title. It's nice that the author explains some of his work. I especially like the dedication to a muse. Good touch.

I'm not a fan of poetry but I've read the review and the collection seems pretty interesting and educational as well giving us valuable lessons on such topics as nature, the environment, society, war and our fragile planet. I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Am passing on this one not because I don't like poetry but am just not interested now maybe later. Thanks for your review.

I love poems that explore a variety of human emotions. I also like that you mention that the author has a way of making you feel as if you know them after reading the poems. It is unique that it comes from a Buddhist perspective. Great review!

It sounds like a truly beautiful book of poetry. I hesitate to pick it up, however, because I tend to really 'live' the books I read and can be very emotional. Thus, I try to avoid books that I know will make me cry. I think I'll pass on this one. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Great review! I'm not an avid reader of poetry, but I can really appreciate an emotion-fuelled (and well-edited) read. Will check out the sample
