Re: Review of A Brighter Tomorrow
The author has introduced me to a new style of poetry. Such character can not be well represented anywhere else

I appreciate your keen observation of the book's organization, noting the minor discrepancy in the title and praising its overall exceptional editing. It's clear that Schneider's collection, divided into seven sections, explores a diverse range of themes with depth and intention. The inclusion of relevant quotes from figures like Deepak Chopra, Robert F. Kennedy, and Harper Lee adds another layer of resonance to the poems.

The first theme, "The Creative Process," provides an insightful look into the mind of a poet, highlighting the challenges that come with writer's block. The second theme, "Pandemic 2020," expresses the author's admiration for the frontline workers who tirelessly worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. Schneider doesn't hold back her disappointment towards those who resisted safety measures, such as wearing masks.
The theme of "Injustice" underscores the importance of equality, unity, and justice, and the ongoing battle against prejudice. In "No Regrets," Schneider paints a vivid picture of a cross-cultural love story set in the midst of World War II, where the couple defies all odds to be together.
The theme of "Courage" encapsulates the spirit of a nun and her convent, the melody from a jazz musician's trumpet, the resilience of a single parent, and the poignant memory of a mourning family.
In the "Love" theme, Schneider excels in portraying a comprehensive view of love. It depicts the deep affection of a family grappling with the irreplaceable loss of their mother and the struggle to fill the void left by her absence.
The poem "The Worth of a Man" is particularly striking. It sends a powerful message - the value of a man is determined by his heart, not his lineage.
The book also explores the story of Paul and Kate, a couple separated by Alzheimer's disease. Paul's move to a nursing home has blurred their once vibrant love. The question remains whether a visit to their special garden could rekindle lost memories.
The "Hope" theme resonated with me personally, especially the therapeutic power of horses and the solace found in mythical beings. Schneider's depiction of a dog named Milo, transitioning from protector to living in "Happier Times," is particularly heartwarming.
Schneider concludes this brilliant collection by envisioning a positive future for all Americans, inspiring hope for a brighter tomorrow.
What I love about this collection is how Schneider's words seem to speak directly to me. The poem "Healing Power of Animals" particularly resonated with me. I could see myself in Cassie, and while Todd's story differs from mine, I could relate to finding comfort in Molly, the therapeutic golden retriever.
There's nothing I found amiss in this book. I appreciated the emotional connection, the grammatical structure, the flow of the narrative, the punctuation, and the context. The absence of typos was a bonus. This collection is a testament to Schneider's talent as a poet.
I will give it a 5/5 star rate
