Official Review: Shitolian by O Persaud

It seems this book has a lot to offer as it covers some of the pertinent issues in the society. I'm also glad that the author's diction is capable of creating mental picture in the minds of readers. Thank you for this wonderful review!

Oh. This sounds delightful. Poetry often is a succinct yet profound way to convey a message, so that the poet chooses to use this medium to talk about those in low stations is good. I look forward to reading it.

Great review! I especially liked where you quoted Persaud's "Worry" poem, "Worry doesn't fill up anything especially in your mind," and also when he says, "It is adversity that makes us appreciate what we have or what we had.” Both statements are quite profound. Thank you!

It was refreshing to be able to read a book of good poetry. Thanks for stopping by!

The poems sure do cover a variety of topics. It is neat that the author's final punch in his poems repeatedly took your breath away. Pulling a strong emotion out of a reader is a good sign of effective writing, especially in poetry. This one isn't for me at this time. I am glad you enjoyed it and that it is well done. Thanks for an excellent review.

It was refreshing to be able to read a book of good poetry, and that does have to do with emotion, doesn't it? Thanks for stopping by!

I reviewed this author's other book of poetry, but he'd rather keep my review to himself. I agree with you about his ability to evoke vivid images, creative humor, and expertise in speaking French (not the kind spoken in Paris).

I enjoyed your review of O Persaud. I wonder why he dropped the rest of his name (Omar).

LOL! French! Thanks for stopping by!!!

This sounds like a good, fun book of poetry. I like a book that can discuss serious issues without taking itself too seriously. Wonderful review!

The wide variety of themes lend themselves to reflective thought. The title of the book is a new word for me too. So I learned something new also! Thanks for your insightful review.

The term "sh**tolian" is also a new one to me. All of the poems that you mentioned sound interesting, especially the section on insects and animals and how their traits compare to ours. How creative! Your insight into the lower case letters is also intriguing. Thank you for a most insightful and engaging review!

The poems in this book sound interesting and engaging. Sh*tolian is a very catchy title. I kept reading his name as "persuade"
Great review though

I love the title of this book. Thanks for the review. I appreciate all poetry. even the blunt ones.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad that the author was able to be direct and coarse with a point behind it. Sometimes shock value and profanity are necessary. I do not read poem collections often so I will have to pick this up.
