[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Dance of Being" by Christine Amoah.]

The Dance of Being by Christine Amoah is a stunning collection of poetry and prose that arouses in readers deep emotions that allow the soul to soar. The poems are divided into five sections; four are titled as the seasons, and one (the third) is between seasons. The themes covered are many and connected to life experiences: love, faith, resilience, friendship, hope, and more.

I found this book both moving and inspiring. The author represents situations through wonderful images, and every poem — I would say every line — has a special rhythm. Amoah deals with the themes in a very original way and gives the reader a sense of elevation. I often paused on purpose to reflect on the emotions this book conveyed to me.

What I wrote before concerns the book in general, but if I have to go into detail, the two poems dedicated to the Mighty Oak are the ones that had the strongest impact on me. This is due to what the Mighty Oak represents and the opening of the second part, which creates a strong contrast with the first. Details like these make you greatly appreciate the author's talent and realize you are reading a one-of-a-kind book.

I do not think this book has negative sides; I found nothing worse than a few irrelevant typos, and I must say that the hardcover copy is very well bound. Although the author often refers to God and her faith, this book is suitable for everyone regardless of their religion because everyone can share many of the values ​​covered here.

It is with great joy that I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for all the positive features I have listed. I recommend it to all those who appreciate poems capable of making you reflect on your life and want to be inspired by what contemporary poets have to offer.
