Laura Lee wrote: 18 Jul 2020, 16:53 Another insightful review. I always enjoy the analyses of the books you've read. It surprised me that this was an anthology of poetry. I honestly wondered, from the title, if it were dealing with personality disorders or mental illnesses! LOL Thanks for another great review.
You're welcome. I appreciate your kind comment, Laura.

I hear you. Thanks for your comment.

Yes, I agree--the book's cover doesn't inspire peace.

I'm not a huge poetry reader, but I was drawn in by the title and then captured by your review. The themes you describe seem like something I can seek my teeth into. Going to try!

Thank you for hearing me out. I also want to add that hopefully, a round of editing would remove most mistakes.
