I'm not a big fan of rhyming poetry, so I'm not the right person for this. Also, there wasn't much of a sample provided on Amazon to check out any but one of the poems. Nevertheless, kudos to the author on her achievement and I hope he finds an appreciative reading audience.

I enjoy reading poetry. I appreciated your review of A Brighter Tomorrow by Lori Schneider MD, because you emphasize this collection's storytelling and inspirational perspective. I think I would enjoy reading this collection because it includes photographs, and paintings by Mark Salevitz, MD.
Thank you for mentioning the formatting. One drawback for me is the formatting. When I read the free sample on Kindle, I had to enlarge the font to the maximum possible. That cut into my enthusiasm for reading this collection. I hope this issue will be addressed in later editions or new collections of poetry by Lori Schneider.

This review is like a template for poetry reviews! Great job! Unfortunately for me, the sample showed almost nothing of the beauty of this book of poetry...

I like how the author uses poetry as a therapeutic device. The theme of animal advocacy is also interesting to me. I would love to read it. Congrats!

Your detailed analysis paints a vivid picture of the book and its emotional depth. Your opening lines capture the essence of the collection, highlighting how the author turned to poetry as a therapeutic and creative outlet, especially during the pandemic. The range of themes addressed in the poems, including love, racial injustice, hope, courage, and animal advocacy, seem to give the collection a rich and varied tapestry of emotions and perspectives. "A Brighter Tomorrow" appears to be a compelling and beautifully crafted collection, offering inspiration and a window into the soul during challenging times.

A Brighter Tomorrow is a collection of poems that reflect the author’s emotions and thoughts during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lori Schneider, MD, is a physician who turned to poetry as a way of coping with the stress and uncertainty of the global crisis. She explores various themes such as hope, despair, love, courage, injustice, creativity, and resilience in her poems, using vivid imagery and expressive language.

The book is divided into four sections: The Pandemic, The World, The Heart, and The Soul. Each section contains poems that relate to the respective topic, and some of them are accompanied by beautiful artwork that enhances the mood and message of the poems. The author also includes some personal anecdotes and reflections at the end of each section, giving the reader a glimpse into her life and experiences.

The poems in this book are heartfelt and sincere, and they resonate with the reader on a deep level. The author does not shy away from expressing her fears, frustrations, anger, and sadness, but she also offers hope, gratitude, compassion, and optimism. She encourages the reader to find beauty and joy in the midst of chaos, and to seek a brighter tomorrow for themselves and the world.

I enjoyed reading this book and found it to be inspiring and uplifting. The poems are easy to read and understand, and they convey a lot of emotion and meaning. The author has a talent for writing poetry that touches the heart and soul of the reader. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves poetry, or who is looking for some comfort and encouragement during these difficult times. A Brighter Tomorrow is a book that celebrates the human spirit and its ability to overcome adversity.

I liked that the author channeled her creativity into poetry, touched on subjects of racial injustice and animal advocacy, and spoke about hope and courage. It will be heartwarming to read about the love story of her maternal grandparents. Poetry has been slowly disappearing in recent times. I genuinely enjoy poetry and hope that more people read it and revive poetry to its full potential.

"A Brighter Tomorrow" by Lori Schneider, MD is a collection of poems. Poetry is also the author's creative reflection, but it also has a therapeutic role. The themes of the poems vary from love and hope to racial injustice. .

This book, which coincided with the Corona virus, includes a collection of artistic and poetic works by doctors, as people had a set of ways.
To deal with this epidemic and quarantine, it is something that brings hope from helping others overcome the difficulties of life.
They are intimate poems that contain creative works in order to deal with the circumstances of this epidemic in a positive way and overcome its difficulties and the tension and fear it carries.
The book was accompanied by illustrations. I advise everyone to read it.

Poems interest me because of their play with words. How did the poet express her feelings in this poem during the pandemic? I'm also interested in the other themes written about.
