Review by Joseph_ngaruiya -- A World Diverse
Paul Engle said that poetry is boned with ideas, nerved, and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words. You've probably asked yourself questions regarding what life was all about. You've also had those light-bulb moments of true friendship and working relationships. And it's guaranteed that you have perished the thoughts of why death takes away your loved ones. A World Diverse by David Edmond is an anthology of free-verse poems whose focal point is all things in life and how they make you feel.
There's an overly descriptive genuine voice in each poem that will hasten you to think on your feet. Edmond used a topical approach in the entire book. Each piece speaks about a unique topic on its own and reveals an idea thoroughly. The language is also easily comprehendible.
David's goal was to inform people of the struggles encountered in the aspects of life and the continuation of living. To prove this point, he poetically gives life lessons. There's a consistent reference to a deity. But what stands out most about the idea is that David left the reader a space to attach what they'd want to call a supreme being. My empathy and insight got developed as I got to the finishing of the last poem. The majority of arguments aligned to my previous assumptions. A good example is a verse that reads, "the truest of friends will help us with our daily needs and will calm the worries that illness brings."
The layout is flawlessly simplified to offer a reader-friendly experience. All the poems are interesting. Nevertheless, I found the few that discuss spirituality to be esoteric. Hence, there's a possibility of a reader not appreciating this work if they can't relate to those allusions. However, it is worth noting that the poetry setting is in line with the current worldly struggles of connection, ambition, and acceptance.
This work received a thorough round of editing. It has no errors, profanity, or sexual content and is suitable for all readers. Without being swayed, I rate A World Diverse by David Edmond at 4 out of 4 stars. What can a pinch of poetry do to your time?
