This was the first book I've read of poetry and I really really enjoyed it. I'm glad I picked it up. It was like every poem was on a different level and they all had so many layers of meaning.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. This is such a powerful book I am just speechless. Definitely worth the read I am telling you. This was so touching, so anger-indicting, so emotional on so many levels. You truly are on a roller coaster with this book. Don’t wait another minute, sit down, and get ready to get emo!

I enjoyed some of these.
Definitely felt some powerful messages.
Having my BA in World Literature, this wasn’t my cup of tea. Personally this trend of poetry type I can’t relate to.
