There are some wonderful and emotionally healing poems in this collection, however, I found it overall bogged down with themes of religion. I wish I had known that prior to picking it up.

Not the worst modern poetry but not the best. Lacked some depth.

Heres the thing, this book has so much potential. Great plot but poor planning. I lost interest so quickly with the jump from POV every single chapter. As I was getting into one story it would immediately change. This book could use some rearranging to make it a bit better.
