Love is definitely confusing. The collection seems to emphasize how confusing love relationships can be. Definitely a good read. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Love is so powerful, and poem is a powerful art. So, a collection of love poems sounds intriguing and powerful. I do hope this book can indeed change the reader's perspective of love.

Poetry isn't my favorite, but I know a lot of people who enjoy it. The subject is, certainly, one that would interest many. Thank you for the review!

I definitely can associate with how the collection draws a thin line between love and fixation. However, I do agree how the usage of contradictory words may confuse the reader. Excellent analysis!

"....the thin line between love and fixation."
But who is to say it is love or fixation? It is very hard when you are the only one judging. However, I loved this review very much. It does go deep and creates an exotic sense around love.

I think that it is an interesting take on love that the author has, it sounds like, but I am not very interested in poetry books.

I appreciated your review. I can find poems hard to interpret but I agree with what you said, "Depending on the way you look at them, there are different layers of meaning. I guess that is the challenge no matter what I'm reading. But I certainly can relate to being loved obsessed, if only in my dreams. And I applaud anyone who attempts to write an interpretation of their feelings through poetry.

Your review was one of the best I have ever read - seriously! I read the sample of the book, and barely understood it. The depth of understanding with which you write is truly remarkable. Do you give lessons on the weekends? :eusa-think: Thanks again for the review!

I love to read poetry, especially free verse, unfortunately, I am hopeless at interpreting it. Thank you for breaking it down so beautifully. This is a book, that I will not likely read further than the sample, but I really appreciate your review.

Love is always challenging at one point or another and the author is trying to communicate this in this collection of poems. I just might read it sometime in the future. Your review is amazing good job.
