I'm mostly not usually interested in poetry. Although I think this book is great and I love the ideas behind it, I'm not really sure if I will check it out. Thank you for the wonderful review.

I do not like books with collections of poetry because most of the themes are always difficult for me to interpret, but from the summary provided by the reviewer, she said that the sentences and metaphors used were easy to understand. So, I might put this book in my to-read shelf. The themes also discussing the vacancy and agony left after one perishes should be lessons for humanity to change for the best.

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

It is a book of poetry that deals with several topics: first the responsibility that people have with each other and develops the idea that life is largely what you make of it, then it is about life being finite when dealing with feelings that people have after losing someone they love and in the final section analyzes the loss of human interaction in today's world, largely due to the development of technology, and entrusts everyone with the task of rebuilding peace and respect among all people. It sounds very interesting to read.

A book of poetry about society and many concerns about our today world is something I am looking forward to read. I am glad a poetry book addresses so many topics.

I read some of "A World Diverse 111", by David Edmond and it is a book of poetry written to show the authors point of view on society and where he thinks the world going. It really isn't my type of genre. I think the author did a really good job expressing this in the poem that I read even though I really did not like the book. I give it 3*'s.

The themes of this collection of poems look very timely for today's world- diversity, death, and the effects of technology on our world. Great review!

Sounds like a thought-provoking and timely collection. Thanks for your review!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

While I don't pick up books of poetry often, I think this book would be worth the read. There is such a great need to reach across the lines of division in the world today and seek to understand each other better. The themes of diversity, grief, and commonality in this book could really work to bring people together. People have so much more in common than they think. I appreciated your review. It was concise while also bringing in some good detail about the relevancy of the book.

This collection of poetry covering diversity, loss and community seems well written, but I am not sure it is my style. I'm sure it will appeal to others who enjoy this genre.

I also have not been interested in reading books of poetry, I find them difficult to follow and ambiguous. Based on your review and the sample I read, I may give the genre another chance.

Amazing review. This seems like a thought provoking book. I think I might enjoy the author's provocative poems. I'll check this out. Thank you so much for this review.
