This book comprises 67 poems spanning various subjects such as music, love, science, and artificial intelligence.

Nowhere at Home by Pedro Poitevin is a compilation of poems on different topics. Each poem tells an amazing story, containing lines combining words from various sources. Each line together forms a stanza, forming a unique yet meaningful story the author tells. The poems are inspired by the author's inspirations, with the elements of the theme and style contributing greatly to the poem. Among the several poems written in this book is The Singularity, which was written in rhymes and tells the story of the vindication of prophet Kurzweit, which marked the end of poverty and the beginning of a happy life, a sound mind, immortality, and robots helping with virtually everything from chores to running the economy and protecting software against the virus. Anyone who feels bad about it should prepare for another Prophet Kurzweit 2.0. Curious to read about poems with lines having the same number of words, amongst others? Get a copy of this book to read more interesting poems in it.

The book has some positive sides. What particularly resonated with me was its reflection on everyday activities. For example, this book encompasses a variety of themes, such as love, science, and music, in its poems. Being passionate about mathematics, my favorite poem within the book introduced mathematical symbols exclusively, such as the greater than, less than, addition, and subtraction signs. This poem allows readers to enhance their familiarity with different mathematical notations. The poem about a Valentine's Day experience on page 46, describing a romantic cinema outing, consistently intrigued me. Another captivating feature of the book is its incorporation of quotes. The author skillfully integrates quotes, like the one from Ramón Gómez de la Serna, highlighting how love can transform the temporary into the permanent, enriching the reader's engagement with the poems.

I didn't find anything to dislike about the book, as I found all 67 poems engaging and informative. They offer insights into both love and science, making it a valuable read. The brevity and clarity of each of the 67 poems ensure that readers won't need to invest excessive time to comprehend them.

Pedro Poitevin has genuinely excelled in crafting this collection of poems, deserving commendation. The book has no errors, so it is exceptionally well-edited. Due to its positive sides, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to readers seeking poems that delve into various facets of life, such as music, love, and science.

Thrillers are a genre of books that I typically find myself glancing past, but every once in a while I like to dip back into the pool and see if anything has changed since last I tempted the genre fates. I think it’s more the structure and pacing that typical thrillers keep to that pulls me away from them. Short chapters that get in late, pull out early, and don’t spend a lot of time sticking around to figure out just exactly what’s going on. The fast pace seems to be of utmost importance for these stories, and consequently somewhere along the way, we lose a bit of what ultimately pulls me into any and every story that I love: the characters.

I'm a lover of Poem, but I don't like thus book cover. It didn't attract. But, I won't judge a book by it cover, it's the content that's important.
