Review of Collections
Collections: A Summary of Youth by Mercrutio Faust is an anthology that details what he went through while growing up. It explores his experience from high school to college. The book is divided into eight sections, each with a different number of poems. The sections depict the themes he wrote about. His experiences with love, the ladies, and everything in between are the most resounding themes. It also explores his regrets and everything he treasures: the times he played the hero, the times he was humiliated, and the times his goodness was taken for granted. Now, he is set to right the wrong. Follow him in this anthology to have a vivid peep into his youthful life.
I enjoyed reading this book and flowed well with each poem. The poem 'Average Students' discusses the average student's difficulties balancing their environment. The author describes the unusual feelings teenagers have when their body vitals are growing in 'Body.' I like how he described females in his poem 'Girl.' It is enticing and glorifying. 'Alone At The Party (It Ended Hours Ago') expresses his drunken feelings. This could be his experience with alcohol because he is just 'becoming'. The feelings are genuinely impressive and funny. 'Sex and Romance' truly expresses the naivety of a growing teenager. When he is first introduced to sex and romance, he is confused and tries to figure out what it all means. This is truly real.
'Internet' explores the irony of the internet and all its encompassing vices. It made me ask myself, Do people really care about you? It reminds me of a recent tweet I read: "RIP to those whose tweets we will never see again because they have died." Really? If people will not notice us on the internet after our death, why should we depend on them for validation?
I found nothing to dislike in this anthology. The author uses poetic devices accurately. He rarely uses rhymes, and I enjoyed every bit of the poems, except for some that I struggled to get what he was trying to say. Mercrutio Faust was able to take me along on the journey of his youth, and many times, I felt his emotions.
I found just one error, which made the book professionally edited. Therefore, I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to those who love to read poems. I will also recommend it to poets. I believe they will enjoy it.
