I don't think I'd feel motivated to read a whole book of different poems. But from the review, sounds like it'll be a good try. Thank you.

A collection of poetry with an original perspective. The topics covered are interesting and revolve around identity. It has profanities but apparently, they are used to make a point. A singular proposal for lovers of poetry.

The poems in this book seem very interesting. Poems on the importance of identity is something that has intrigued me. But considering I don't read poetry, I would be skipping this one. Thanks for the great review.

I'm definitely intrigued by the different subjects covered in these poems. I especially want to know the author's take on insects and animals. However, I'm hesitant to read this poetry because of the presence of profanity.

This sounds like an interesting collection of poems covering a large range of topics. I find it interesting that the author writes about heavy topics such as racism, AIDS, and blood diamonds, and then later in the book writes about insects, animals, and other lighter topics. Thank you for the review!

It’s sounds an intriguing collection, indeed. I’m not used to read poetry, but I’d like to take a look at this. It’s also interesting to know that the author worked such delicate topics.

A poetic novel, a center whose goal is identity and self, it speaks in a codified manner about ethnic experiences, their causes and problems, then it talks about the Creator and how we live with the painful experiences of our lives and how we can overcome those circumstances, and finally about certain species of animals characterized by human behavior, a poetic novel codified inside a book

Congrats on Botd

This collection of poems talks about racism, AIDS, drugs, and more. Those are the themes people are afraid to talk about, but this author was brave enough to write this collection.

This poem reminds me that worries doesn't fill anything.

How we react towards our circumstances makes it easier or too hard this book explained it.

This seems like an interesting read. I don't quite read poems, but I think I will try reading this.

Poetry is not an interest I have, however your review shows that the author wrote about important topics.
