I am not really a poetry lover. However, from the review, I'm sure lovers of poetry would love this book. A well-written by the way.

I feel like the last time I read poetry was when I was in high school. It's so long ago that it feels like the right time to start reading poetry again and this book seems like the perfect choice. This book seems relatable, easy to read, and most importantly, thought provoking. Thank you for the great review!

I enjoy good poetry and it seems that this book has the kind of poetry that I like. This is because you note that it is the musings of the author on issues like relationships, sexual identify and life in general. It's also good that there is good use of metaphors and symbolism. Thanks.

I like so much this poem which is titled " Speaks of itself" I prefer also its cover because it talks about body' s shaming and hypocrisies.

I love poems written in free style and touching a wide range of topics about life, love, and relationships, such as in the case of this collection. The use of various figures of speech adds more value to the book too. Thanks for your review!

I really enjoyed the sample of the book that was provided by the author. The poems have something special about them as I'm not a big fan of poems but I still liked them. Thanks for the review.

The first poetry book review I have seen here. Though the first poem, "Snow" is not really my kind of poem, but it sounds good reading it aloud. Thanks for the review.

A beautiful collection of poems in the book "Speaks for Itself: A Commodity of Musings from My Life" by Jeffrey Paul Bailey, which reflect the poet's feelings about various aspects of our life like passion, pain, guilt, and the dynamics in relationships. This one looks like a lovely book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
