I really liked the premise of this collection, in the aspect that each poem is writing by a different author with their own aspect to give around the generalised topics. However, I was quite frankly bored with the majority of these poems. The themes were all unique, which can be great if it's well done, but I just felt confused and baffled because they were all so different, which made me feel disconnected from the collection.

It has a beautiful cover and amazing poems. But they were more about love then they were kindness. Which of course, is a type of kindness, but I think the title doesn't fit what's in the book. I wish that the book had the poems better grouped together. There's ones about love for family members, and then to nature, and then to love of country... and back to love for family.
angelalibrosymiscelaneas's review against another edition
I have decided, sadly, to DNF this book.
I loved the idea, and I was into it at the begging, but as I kept going I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over, to the point of making me feel disconnected.
As a poem collection based around kindness, with the view of so many writers...that makes me feel that this book fails in the goal it has.
I liked, though how the book sometimes reflects on the meaning behind the poem and proposes to the reader their own creative experience.
I'm still open to trying similar titles because I like the overall idea behind this compilation.

Organized well with good flow between poems, but the poems themselves didn’t hit deep for me

I dare you to read this without weeping for the sacred beauty of kindness. James Crews edits this anthology with care, pairing poems thematically. A collection to expand the soul. One of my favorite anthologies I’ve ever read.
