Even though I'm not much of a fan of poetry this book consisting of love, relationships and emotion sounds pretty interesting. This looks like easy to understand as well. Congrats on BOTD!!

As much as poems are an expressions of personal view points, feelings, sentiments, beliefs, principles et cetera, they are thought provoking, soothing and relaxing. All these qualities are adequately reflected in Barley's poems. Thanks for the great review.

The way you have discribed that poem of "get me through" I believe it can also become my favorite. Indeed this is a great book. It's a must read for me.

I'm not into poetry so I'll pass on this one. Surely many other readers who enjoy poems will love this book.

This book is not just a book of poetry, but it also seems to be a book that motivates readers to make the most out of their life, i.e., motivational writing! The fact that the poetry is also thought-provoking is a plus. Thanks for the review.

Great to see such an extensive collection of poetry featured as BOTD. I hope more like this can change perception of poetry in the public eye- shifting poetry intro the public eye like novels.

This collection of poetry that talks about love, relationships, resilience etc sounds wonderful especially when the author employs some interesting figures of speech to convey the emotions. Congrats on BOTD!
