I'm not a poetry lover, therefore I wouldn't choose to read this book. Although, I'm a bit intrigued about the formatting. Would be interesting to read one or two poems just to see how words can fit the visual formatting and still be meaningful.

How serendipitous to read this review today, because just this morning I was thinking about how much I love poetry, and how long it’s been since I read some good poetry. Thank you. I’ll pore over this one.

I have sampled a few pages of the Golden widow and in opinion the story is about a boy and his fantasies whether he sights the Golden widow.The story gives me a chance to think of what I want in relation to the lay out.The story line is simple yet twisted in a way that triggers the mind of what and how life can be.

This book of poems seems full of details. The author thought about every word, comma, and space. It sounds like something I should definitely read.

Unfortunately, considering my knowledge level in English language I won't be able to understand and wholly appreciate poetry at this point. And truly I am not poetry's big fan as it is even in my native language.

Poems that make us think are always welcome in my collection. These poems seem to tackle with important moments in life. It's interesting to discover how other people are aging and the strategies they use to make sense of life. I especially like that some poems are shaped like the theme. That shows meticulous attention.

I think I would especially enjoy the poems that are “cleverly disguised and take time to process”. Thank you for a very thoughtful and insightful review!

I write poetry myself, so it is always nice to read poems from another contemporary writer and poet. Unlike most books, this book has a large number of poems and is organised in a remarkable manner. I will enjoy reading this book and I enjoyed this methodical review as well.

That's a great review. Always a pure joy to read poetry. Lovely collection of poems. Split into six categories, and adding the poet's personal experience will definitely leave the readers spell bound with a rollercoaster of emotions. Will certainly give the book a try!

Poetry isn't for me, I like the way the author split up the poems. Nice review.
