I would want to read this book because it mostly consisted of free verse poetry with frequent rhyming couplets. There are also a few conversation-style poems. It subtly explores sensitive issues. This is a highly recommended book of poetry.

The author comes across as a person who would rather share their feels through poetry about a lot of things such as capitalism and relationships.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting collection of poems. While poetry might not be for everyone, it might be worth a second look. Well done.

The book describe different types of poems , the author show how is beautiful to read poetry, it helps reader for good imagination of art... I think that without poetry , i have no sens and the mind stay empty.I enjoy to be in quiet place and in the moment of the day spend learning to increase my think. Thank you for the good review.

This review is well-written and makes the book sounds interesting. The author touches on personal and societal issues that are helpful for the introspective read. I'm an introvert, but I'm not a fan of poetry because it is hard to to understanf the true meaning concealed in each phrase. Although the review mentioned that this book is easy to read, educative, and highlights different themes, I'll pass on this one. Thank you for the review.

This book sounds right up my alley. I am also an introvert, and I enjoy talking to my close friends about the societal problems as well as our own personal problems. This book will probably give me that same sense of conversation. I absolutely loved your review; it sold me on ignoring my skepticism of reading the full book.
The most extraordinary thing about those long-ago times was that privileged families were allowed to gain unfair advantage for their children, by paying to send them to the best schools with the best teachers and the best facilities.

The book is a collection of socially relevant poems. It advocates mindfulness and is a reminder that our circumstances are the results of our choices and actions. Congratulations on Book of the Day!
