Billy Barnum s newest book of poetry takes the reader on a billowing ride across a wide gamut of emotions It is fantastical and magical And it is also realistic and familiar It is these contrasts that create a wonderful cohesion that binds the book together The front cover defines the work as an epic poetry collection Truly that is the net effect after reading it twice now and about to read a 3rd time It is a transformative journey of the heart full of lessons that taken together reveal relatable truths that will leave you thinking for hours afterward and thus why I am going back a 3rd time I highly recommend this book 9798218375058 I love the way Billy tells a story throughout his poetry His latest collection is no exception and there is so much relatable emotion and imagery that it is hard to put down I finished reading his latest works within a few days and believe this collection is worth savoring as you go Once again Billy J Barnum proves that poetry is not only beautiful but it is also about real life and can help us to pick up our pieces and heal Touching real and true poetry you will not be disappointed if you read Broken Little Pieces I highly recommend Billy s work and look forward to his next publication 9798218375058 This is an interesting collection of forty six poems The ones I could relate to were Always There Wasting Time Searching for a Cause Unfinished Unthinkable Mega Storm Heavenly Flight and The Robot s Desire Always There This is a take on Jesus is with us even if we can t see him There was FB post years ago detailing this It was a photo of two sets of footsteps in the sand but you could only see one entity Wasting Time This resonating with me for it reflects the messages I post on Instagram TIktTok and FB Stop procrastinating or tomorrow isn t guaranteed Nice. Unfinished Another one about using your time wisely Unthinkable A short about a father s revenge on a man that has defiled his daughterMega Storm is an excellent accounting of how the media treats a story A lot of trut in this one. Heavenly Flight Excellent account of passing and joining God The Robot s Desire An interesting take on what a Robot feels Think about the movies Surrogate I Robot and then today s advancements in AI and you ll get the drift My biggest draw back was the lack of punctuation This is the second poetry work I ve read where the lack of punctuation makes one have to keep rereading a poem to make sure they ve captured what the author has written Poetry is speculative thus there is something for everyone in this collection Four Stars 9798218375058 Poems For the Human SpiritThis book of poems talks about many feelings and experiences that people go through like feeling alone finding hope and the magic of stories and creativity. There s a poem about a man who writes stories that make people feel happy and strong showing how powerful words can be this one is my favourite Other poems talk about fighting against things that try to hold you back There are also poems about dealing with really hard things like losing someone you love or going through a big disaster but still finding a way to keep goingThe poems also talk about big problems in the world like how we treat our planet or feeling alone because of technologyFinal Thoughts It shows how poetry can talk about what it s like to be human sharing feelings and stories that many people can connect with Reading these poems can make you feel less alone and remind you of the good and strong parts of life 9798218375058
