Thanks for your kind comments!

This book of poetry has great topics, like his experience as an Asian American in the US. That being said poetry is not my thing. Appreciate your review though.

Still, I appreciate you stopping by to leave a comment!

Best Evidence by Mark S. Osaki takes the reader on an introspective journey through thoughts and emotions as he uses mastery of language in poetry to highlight racial prejudice, war, and its resultant psychological after-effects in the metaphorical pen of patriarchal Asian-American culture. Detailed review. Congrats on BOTD.

Thanks for stopping by!

I, too, am disappointed in the portrayal of women- as your review pointed out. Great job on the review!

It was a disappointing aspect of the collection indeed. Thanks for the comment!

This book is really interesting especially the poems. How Mark writes the poems makes the reading in the real picture of the situtation. Beautiful poems.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Hi gen_g,
What a wonderful review. Your review was nothing short of amazing. I do not know one poetry from another because honestly I've never liked poetry. Still this was an interesting read for me and what a review! You are my review role model!

Hi Clorinda! Thank you so much for your comments, and I thank you for your compliments! I certainly hope that my review made you curious about the book, and I'm even more honoured when you mentioned that you are not a fan of poetry. (:

I love poetry that tugs at the emotions. I was pleased to hear that this one can get intense. If I can ever find the time i may just have a go at this one.

If you do find the time to pick this up, I certainly hope that you will enjoy this one as much as I did. Thank you for stopping by.

I read the sample and I must say that it was uniquely written, however, this book is not for me. It's strong that needs deeper comprehension of its prose. Your review is honest and well-detailed. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Your review gave an extremely impressive analysis of the book. I generally do not read much poetry, but this review made me want to try. I read the sample, and I liked the first poem, which depicts a lot about the poet’s father and his expectations. Thanks for this beautifully written review.

This is a fantastic review. This book brings out a negativity on women which didn't see well with me. However it has ignited something that maybe I need to understand the Asian culture more, if not maybe it could be the influence the author has had in his life concerning women.
