The Voice of My Mind by T.A. Fish

2.0

This collection of poems speaks mainly to the theme of death. This made for, at times, quite a down-beat/depressing read. There were a few poems which stood out for me: phantom, failure, whispers, the covered veil, happiness, & cloud 9. But on the whole this poetry collection didn't do it for me. This doesn't mean it's not for you! As I think if you were aware of how much of the book is about death you may pick it up in a different mindset, but I expected broader themes and more diversity of poem topics. As a non-religious person, I also found there were quite a lot of Christian references which didn't really do anything for me except make the poems less relatable. So if you're in the mood for poems about death and are happy with religious references, give this one a go and see what you think!

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookbaby for this free copy I received in exchange for an honest review.
