Poetry to me is such a powerful means of expression. I always look forward to reading poems that discuss a variety of topics, both personal and societal. I also like the author has kept the writing intense but understandable. Congratulations on BOTD 🥳

The author understands that we are naturally more emotional than rational. I hope these poems will dissipate the fires of greed, selfishness, and pride within us.

Poetry about topics such as relationships, capitalism, death, animal cruelty, earth’s exploitation, politicians, war, ego, God, atheism, etc, sounds interesting. The many themes covered in this book have aroused my curiosity. This book seems great so congratulations on BOTD.

I like how the writing is both intense and at the same time, easily understood. It's also a plus that there were only two errors in the whole book. Thanks for such a nicely-detailed review!

I felt as though I was having a private conversation with a friend as I was reading this review. Your vulnerability and heart escaped onto my computer screen and provided such a romanticized look at Green's work, that it creates a curiosity of what type of relationship I could have with this book. Will it inspire the heart and mind as you have shared it too? I must now go find out. Beautiful review!
