When you Read poems without properly connecting with it, you loose the deep thought of the author. I'll love to try this book despite my sentiments on poetry. Thanks for the review.

Based on this review, I am excited to read this book. Having a variety of modern-day topics discussed makes me think I will definitely relate to many of the feelings and events the author writes about especially written introspectively. Thanks for a clear and descriptive review!

I am in total agreement with you saying that reading gives one a sense of acknowledgement. And poems, make it more interesting. Having to ponder over the issues addressed in poems is exciting.

The title of this book is intriguing, and I am always interested in checking out new poetry. I also love that the author touches on both personal and societal issues; I think these two impact each other more than we realize. Thanks for the nice review and recommendation!

This book covers a lot of topics so it's like a general book, something that everyone can understand. I'm not a fan of poetry but the author did a good job.

Unlike most poems which seem unrelatable to readers, your review has a trust that this book of poetry is different. I'd like to venture into poetry someday, so I guess I'll have to read this book. Thanks for the review!

This is a book of sayings and poems written by Darcy Green. While poetry is not my favorite genre, I do like to read it occasionally. The official review went much deeper in evaluating this book since she pushes herself to connect with others and enjoys conversations with like-minded people. I read for enjoyment so I can enjoy a book even if I do not share a common interest with the author. The author used this book to share his feelings about many topics including relationships, capitalism, death, politicians, war, God and numerous other issues we are faced with in today's world. Good review.

I'm not really a fan of Poems and poetry but this is one book that most people can relate to. The cover of the book is simple, beautiful and alluring. A lot of lessons can be learned from this book because a lot of topics were addressed. Congrats on being the BOTD.
