A review by hanxue
Velvet Dragonflies by Billy Chapata

2.0

This book read more like a self help book than poetry, I do think it would do well in that genre instead. Bu as poetry, it was rather cliché, gave me a vibe like ah yes I have read these same lines a thousand times over. There were certain poems within the book that were beautiful and emotional but those were comparatively rare than the others. I do think this writer does have real potential though. Perhaps I was just not the right audience for this book and there is a different type of poetry reader who would understand and appreciate this more, but for me, it was a total and utter miss.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.
