This collection of poems is a deep meditation on contemporary issues ranging from politics and environmental damage to death and hope.

Reading and understanding poems is laborious if one is not inclined to this genre. Poems are evocative and I think this book will bring me back to my old hobby, reading poems. It is also a plus that the author touches various topics which all interest me.Congrats Botd!

I absolutely love the idea of embracing the power of introspection in inspiring change within yourself. I agree that not every solution is collective action and that sometimes, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I am an INFP who loves poetry!! I am really into this kind of book. I feel like the things I cannot say can be read in poetry that's why I am really into it. I'd love to give this a try. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Poetry is one of the unique ways of expressing oneself. I love that the author of this book talks about politicians war and atheism. This are topics that are less talked about in the society. It is understandable and contains many poems that are very relatable. I love that they are at both a personal and societal level. I love this poems and this book is definitely for me.

The Residue of our Desires by Darsy Green is a book I look forward to reading. A collection of poetry is hard to come by. The writer should have the greatest ability to write artistically. I’m eager to read these poems and a great review.

The writer covers a wide range of topics: relationships, war, politicians, exploitation of the earth, war, God......
He is passionate about these things and his writings are all relevant to what is happening right now in our times in our world.
His personal experiences and social issues are all included in the poetry.
I would really like to read his views on the subjects covered. As well as his interesting sayings.......
The poetry is simple to understand. He gets his point of view across to the reader.
Thank you for a beautiful review.
