Review of Now I See

Post by **Kristina Carvey** » 06 Oct 2022, 14:53

From the sample I read, I thoroughly enjoyed the poetry content. Very hard hitting and easily relatable to real life feelings and experiences. All of us have fears we somehow have to face up to and these poems use words which describe.aome of these thoughts and feelings well. It left me wanting to read more.

Sandra's Now I See Leon Gonzalez appears to be a fantastic novel. I adore how the author's poetry are applicable to current events. I'll put it on my list of things to read. Thank you for the BOTD.

The poet was successful in creating 45 poems dealing with diverse topics including racism, pandemic, spirituality and so on. Written in a simple language, this poem shows the emotions of the poet with the message to discard negative emotions. The pictures that accompanies each poem also makes the book attractive. Thank you for giving a detailed review that touched almost all aspect of the book.

I don't usually read poetry, but based on the review, it seems like a good book. The cover looks intriguing, and that's what initially drew my attention. Well done.

Beautifully stated. I enjoyed the sample pages (and pictures!) and look forward to finishing this inspiring collection. Thank you for your poetic take on this read, and congrats on BOTD!

Though I'm not a fan of poetry but I love how the author was able to make exposition about so many issues that is relatable for the readers. Great review

I enjoyed the lace of the poems. They flowed and the meanings weren’t hidden to deeply making them accessible. I like the use of pictures ahead of each of the poems relating to that poems theme.

I like the book cover, the authors use of eyes ties in very well with the vision themes names of the four sections of the book. This is a detailed review. I will not be reading this book however due to not being particularly fond of poetry.

From the review of this poetry collection, I am impressed with a couple of things, like the striking themes, the artistic use of poetic devices, and the exceptional proofreading done in it. I hope would-be readers appreciate the moral lessons in this book, like the dangers and risks inherent in jealousy.

There is a profound feeling of upliftment in poetry that is not present in novels. The sampled pages of this collection left me wanting more. The reviewer has further confirmed the beauty contained in the pages of this collection of poems. Heartfelt, and gut-wrenching but with a beautiful crescendo of hope, every poem ends with words that feel like balms to the soul.
"When words flow like magic,
From the heart of the author,
It's like balm to the soul,
To every avid reader"
Congratulations to the author for being selected as today's BOTD pick!
