I like that this book deals with diverse themes. At one end we have the theme of love and the other end racial injustice and even animal advocacy. Thanks for the review.

A Brighter Tomorrow by Dr. Lori Schneider is an inspirational and thought-provoking book of poems that cover an array of topics. The book serves as a diary in which Lori Schneider discusses the Covid- 19 pandemic, racial injustice, love, and many more issues. Each poem is accompanied by beautiful eye-catching images. These images make the reader stop and reflect on the verse that they have just read and ponder how the images relate to the words.

The topic of the pandemic is incredibly precious, as Dr. Schneider is a practicing neurologist and more than likely had an up-close look at the chaos and horror of the Covid-19 pandemic. Writing poetry was her way of coping with this dark time that engulfed the world.

Schneider does not shy away from showing her emotional and vulnerable side. By doing so, her poems seem more relatable and honest, making this a valuable read for those struggling to manage the complex feelings of this time. Her poems are inspiring and uplifting, and I appreciate that through a dark time, she found light through writing.

The book is divided into several different topics, with each topic clearly important to the author and significant moments that have impacted us as a society. Schneider’s poems are not overladed with metaphors or overly complicated word choices, making this a smooth read that is accessible to readers on many levels. With the diversity of topics, there is something for all readers to find and connect with.

Dr. Lori Schneider’s poems are candid and evoke emotions in the readers, making this one book hard to put down. Yet, this is one book that can be read over again and shared with friends. A Brighter TOMORROW is the collection of poetry we all need to heal from these past few years.

Very thoughtful review. I loved how author mended themes of racial discrimination, love, injustice and much sensitive topics through form of poetry. The inclusion of quotes and dedication to famous people was another I liked.

Poetry is not my favorite genre, but I think it's an interesting idea to write poetry based on the author's life experiences and to establish a strong connection with the readers.
Great review, very detailed. Congratulations!!!

This book is good for the poets, but also good for people facing pandemic challenges for some sort of encouragement as the writer expresses what he went through and how he managed to overcome the situations at hand.

The universal human experience seems to be captured beautifully in this collection of poems. This review is well detailed and has captured my attention and I would like read further on the poems mentioned such as "Sealed by Fate" and "Pandemic Closet"

I’m glad the author took real life situations that we can all relate to in one way or another and make them into poems. I enjoy reading poems because they are all short little stories with much to tell. Thank you for you’re review!

"A Brighter Tomorrow" is a testament to Lori Schneider's poetic prowess, as she skillfully navigates the complexities of emotions stirred by the pandemic. The organized structure of the collection and Schneider's thoughtful inclusion of quotes and visual elements contribute to an enriching reading experience.
