Good collection of poems to rejoice. Book is well organized into different sections. This book evokes the sense of comfort, hope and a better future. Since it written during pandemic time one observe the glimpses of that overwhelming feelings.

A heartfelt book of poetry with artwork and photographs about the horrendous pandemic of 2020, "A Brighter Tomorrow" by Lori Schneider, MD sounds like an excellent way to remember the trials and tribulations of Covid-19. Thanks for the great review that highlights the fact that the poems are so personal and unambiguous as is appropriate for this type of book. It does sound as though the Kindle version could use an upgrading revision but that is a detail that will probably be remedied given time.

Poetry never been my strongest suit, but some of these might sounds delightful. As a dog owner, I would like to read about "Milo", the service dog. Thanks for the review.

Post by Mayuri Kotalawala »

In "Pandemic Closet," her longing lament about the necessary adjustments to her wardrobe will resonate with those who have also traded pencil skirts for yoga pants while unclothing a deeper meaning. The poignant “Say Our Name” is “written in memory of all those who died as a result of injustice.” Schneider retells the love story of her maternal grandparents in "Sealed by Fate" and sensitively broaches interracial marriage in "No Regrets." Animal lovers will enjoy her poem about "Milo" the service dog.
- Being a poetry fan, I appreciate the many kinds of poems. It's nice, that the author has something for everyone. The review too, was exceptional. Thank you.

Just reading the instruction, i know this is my kind of book. Telling a story through poem? one of a kind. Also, I agree that the formatting needs improvement.

It seems the book is a collection of poetry, I love poems in that the bring out that uniqueness to writing which differs from the rest. Many people can right books but not as many as those can make poetry that's what makes it intriguing. Your review was brief but tell a little of what to expect from the author, which mostly maybe about life situations. It's best for poetry lovers

Poetry has never been my cup of tea, but this collection of poems seems to address relatable issues in real life. I can see how inspirational and hopeful it is that the day after today can be better, even from its title. I might try it. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Drama and Poetry. I had loved poetry ever since especially if it elicit so many emotions while at the same time exposing the beauty of playing with words. I have read again some poetry now but not as numerous as prose. Would I get again the beauty now? I hope so and I think so. The review says it is uplifting, inspiring and formulaic. The title " Brighter Tomorrow" is suggesting something and the varied topics of the poems as stated in the review gives me the expectation that the poems would also be thought-provoking on modern-day concerns and perspectives.

Schneider's meticulously organized collection, adorned with Salevitz's art, impresses with storytelling prowess. The rhyming scheme may seem formulaic, but Schneider's intentional style captivates.

“A Brighter Tomorrow” by Lori Schneider, MD is a poetry collection written by the author who uses poetry to release “her creativity and therapeutic expression”. Lori uses poetry as her way of telling a story and began writing during the pandemic. She mixes love, racial injustice and hope throughout her poems and she uses quotes from a few very well-known Americans. She focuses on the wardrobe changes for people that had to work from home during the pandemic, the trading of pencil skirts for yoga pants. She also devotes time to the love story of her grandparents, the impact of interracial marriage and her love for animals described in the poem about a service dog named Milo. The book includes 98 pages of poems, photographs and artwork that lead to a promise of better days ahead. How appropriate for the turmoil today with the upcoming 2024 election that could mean the end of a brighter tomorrow. Very good review.
