I enjoy poetry--it has the ability to connect with the reader on an almost organic level, but it's often hit or miss. I appreciate the subjects the author covered, but I did not connect with the style in the sample pages. Thank you for your take on this thoughtful collection, and congrats on BOTD!

I am certainly not a fan of poetry, but the wide range of topics that these poems and sayings talk about, make it sound worthwhile.

I love that the poems tackle some of the big issues that we just ignore or have become blind to cause that's just how things are. Definitely something everyone should read.

I'm not a fan of poetry even though I use to like poetry in the past. The Residue of Our Desires" by Darcy Green is a book I will recommend to friends who enjoy poetry.

I'm not too keen on poetry, particularly the rhyming kind, so I'll be taking a pass on this one. However, I'd like to congratulate Darcy Green on the accomplishment and on earning BOTD.

"The Residue of Our Desires" by Darcy Green. An interesting book filled with poems. It has lots of factors that deals with relationship, politics, capitalism and part of it talks about war. Congrats on your #BOTD.
