Book Review – Unleashing the Power Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Poetryby Lisa McCarthy Reviewed by Realistic Poetry International

We Love Her Form, Style, and Language

One of the most distinctive qualities of this book is McCarthy’s poetic style. We absolutely love how she shapes her voice—clear, expressive, and emotionally rich. She embraces free verse in a way that allows her words to feel authentic and deeply personal. There’s no need for complicated metaphors or rigid structure; her poetry flows naturally from the heart.


Each line reads like a quiet reflection, sometimes like a prayer, and often like an inner dialogue made visible. Her choice of language is thoughtful yet simple, with meaning that lingers. This makes her poems incredibly approachable while still leaving room for depth and connection.

Rather than trying to impress with complexity, McCarthy connects with truth—and that’s where her power lies.
