Review of A Brighter Tomorrow
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Brighter Tomorrow" by Lori Schneider, MD.]
This is the first time I have chosen to read and review a book of poetry. Being a poet myself, I felt that it was the right time. And it sure was! A Brighter Tomorrow by Lori Schneider, MD, is a wonderfully written book of poems. The book is divided into 5 major sections: Pandemic 2020, Injustice, Courage, Love and Hope. The Creative Process which the author went through is also given in the very beginning, thus adding a personal touch to what we read.
The first section is something anyone who has lived during the Covid-19 outbreak can relate to. The second section pulls at the heartstrings of anyone who has undergone or who knows someone who has undergone racial discrimination. The third section fills one’s heart with courage and bravery. The fourth section is a topic without which the world cannot survive. The last section is very uplifting and inspiring.
The poems are written in a beautiful flow, making it an easy and quick read. Alternatively, each poem can be understood in depth by relishing over every word of each line with a philosopher’s perspective. The language used is very eloquent while being simple to understand at the same time. There is depth, there is ease, but all in all, the reader can relate to all the poems written here. Whether it be about the horrible pandemic, injustice due to discrimination, how to face one’s fears, love or about keeping hope, it’s all in one place. All the poems are accompanied by apt illustrations, thus giving a little push to the reader’s imagination. The illustrator, Mark Salevitz, MD, has done a great job in capturing the essence of the individual poems in the illustrations.
The editing was simply superb and I found only one mistake in the entire book. This calms me because I find it tedious when I feel like I am searching for mistakes rather than reading a horribly edited book. This book of poetry felt soothing and a good read. Analysis of the same can definitely improve one’s lifestyle.
I would like to rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I do not wish to lower its rating just because of one mistake. The poet really knows how to make everyone who reads it feel like the poem is speaking to them.
I feel that any person who likes these topics can enjoy this book, whether or not they are a poet or a fan of poetry. I hope this author brings out more such wonderful works! Sometimes all we need is a bit of calm in this fast-paced world.
