Personally, I have a hard time finding poems that I like, but your review has convinced me to give this book a chance. I especially like the interpretation of the present, the future and the past. Thank you for this well-written review!
I appreciate your feedback and comment! I hope you will also enjoy it :)

Veeerrry interesting. I am very intrigued how the author paralleled picking a dish and picking the right things in life because I thought, just like picking a dish on the menu, we must pick things in life that are worth it, right for us, and we love and choose at the same time. It gave way to new questions in my head, what if the dish I ordered from the menu is only suggested by a companion, how would the author relate it to life? Thank you for your review, I will definitely be reading this!

Thank you for this informative review. I am always in two minds about poetry books. Sometimes poetry can be thought-provoking, but often a bit too intensely deep/obscure. Or the poems can be long and meandering, or very short with loads of blank spaces/pages. This one seems right in the middle; appealing and attractive. You have described this poetry book and convinced me! I shall put it on my 'to read' list.

I never knew there was such a thing as poetry novels. This is the first time I'm hearing of it though.

Nevertheless, it won't hurt to give it a try. I can try reading poetry novels and maybe I might develop interest. Besides, the review sounds interesting.

This poetry sounds like something to read when I’m not having a good day. Relaxing, reflective, and beautiful. I live in Alaska and I’m sure I could write a poetry book out of our environment.
