"Wrapped Up in Life with Omniscient Eyes" by Sandra Proto is a collection of poetry based on the life experiences and observations through the eyes of the author. The first poem of the book is entitled 'Blackberry Beauty', which uses metaphorical prose to emphasize the fact that beauty is found deep within and although others may see beauty as a likeness based on appearance, it is the individual who perceives their own beauty. 'Blackberry Beauty' is about how the author describes the complexion of her skin tone which others may see as a negative flaw. But the author remarks that it is her mind that she can empower with the positive force of her beauty and adds that she can share the beauty of herself with others. ​


This is a good book to read from the beginning to the end for all those who may be interested in taking that journey through life with self evaluation and following whatever path it leads to.
