This is my first book by the author so I had no expectations. I am trying to discover poets that I like their work and trying to read through a diverse range of poets.
This was a quick read with mostly short poems on each page. I really loved the style and form the author used in writing the poems in this collection with the coffee (day) poems on white pages and the whiskey (night) poems on black pages. The poems have several themes such as relationships, love, heartbreak, self awareness, e.t.c. Most of the poems I loved while I didn’t relate with some but they didn’t keep me glued to the pages which I thought would happen after reading the first few poems at the beginning thus my rating. I am particularly intrigued by this form of poetry which seems to be more common these amongst young poets these days and I am eager to see how it will evolve in years to come.
If you are looking for a quick collection of poetry to read, this is may be worth your time.
