skyfox24kd's review against another edition
4.0
I was whisked through this book of poetry as if; gliding muses picked me up gently to deliver me the right direction. I definitely know what I kept feeling. I felt the night air, the sea, memory, one ghost or many reliving those moments; the last ones trying to feel what they once did feel.
This is a beautiful book. It touches many themes and treats them equally and even tops it off with some cat poems. Lovers of black cats, fat cats, and cats with funny names will find a smirk here.
Part of the beauty and the goosebump inducing factor of a few of these is the death theme.
The poems talk about death lovingly and easily. There is a reverence about it as if one can awake from death as if from sleep. It is nature and human emotion tied in to the condition of the soul, perhaps. I just want to say, it still seems scary in some places. Lol.
Also I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and did not have to write a positive review.
In some poems; I even felt even the living imagining the last of their living selves as they let go. Were those moments in those particular poems .... dreams, imaginings, despairs, memories ? Some felt like ghost stories to me. Hauntings is what they felt like in certain places, but that is fine with me.
I certainly felt the influence of Poe.
I felt and saw Sylvia and her considerations and thoughts, and I loved them.
The haikus were a surprise and lovely and a delight and I was happy to see them.
The moon, the sky, and intimacy are all of great reverence to time and healing the heart.
This is what I got from it. It can be deeply gothic or it can be amazingly full of light and rebirth. It can be both.
For those of you who love vampires, I dare say you can find them there. It is all in interpretation.
The art is amazingly beautiful on the cover and imbues the mood of the poetry perfectly. I’d put more in ;). It puts one under the spell, so as it were.
Best of luck to our poets ! Reach a bit more for that mystical element. It works !
I highlighted some of my favorite parts and made them visible. ❤️
