Poetry is an underrated art form. Yet, it remains a staple of humanity for it’s precise and skin-carving descriptions and word pictures that help us better understand the perspective of what it truly means to be human. James W.A.’s book is no exception. It shares both the trials and triumphs of the human experience without repose. It is a beautiful work of art and a definite must-read

Some poems I enjoyed:

They’ll Drain You Slowly, Man: a look at love and how it really can be the ultimate prize and also your ultimate demise depending on your perspective of it.

Mistletoe: a look at this antiquated holiday tradition

Defiant Pursuit: How the cycle of life and following your dreams can feel like you are going in circles at times, making you wonder if it’s all worth it

Muscle Memory: a piece by piece look at the makings of a human’s strength

The Mark of a Writer: My absolute favorite piece in the entire collection because it talks about the makings of a true writer…the highs, the lows, the feeling of never being good enough.

Fevered Scribblings: Another about the endless cycle of wondering what really matters as a human

Just an Observation: A unique look at how woman always seem to find something wrong with how they look; a overall poem about outer beauty

Waiting For a Table: a poem about signs and how they come from anywhere and remind us about the posterity and bigger picture in life

A Bottle of Dr. Pepper: a comical tale of suicide that ends with salvation and hope with much unexpressed thanks to the carbonated beverage
