I usually love well-written, meaningful poetry works. Given that, I was finding the sample pages that I read to be interesting and enlightening. Then I came here and read your beautifully written review telling us all about the importance of why we need to get the book and read the rest. Awesome review!!!

The review is amazing and it briefly summarizes what the book is all about. I love the use of poems to tackle issues like racial inequality and a topic about God and many other things. The book sounds amazing. Congrats BOTD!

I also learned something new that shitolian is a person that comes from an undesirable place. I love that the book also describes racial divides. I would particularly love to read about that.

I never did understand the fuss around poetry or why people found it so interesting until I read a compilation of poems, after reading that I definitely got it and have been reading poems ever since. This poem also promises to be a great piece, it has a very captivating concept and I can see myself reading it to the end in one sitting, it perhaps two. I love the idea behind the poem. Nice job O Persaud. Congratulations on the BOTD.
