After reading the review, it shows how the book offers something for all readers. With the publication of poems divided up into three sections so that it will show a diversity in the reading. This book is the three installments for this book. Like any literary writings, there is a different perspective from different people reading the same works. The reviewer gives an excellent account of the book.

Reading poem is really not my thing, I could read a poem or two but a compilation? I easily get bored but don't get me wrong, because sometimes I also write poems when I'm in the mood. Your review clarifies each section of the book for the reader's to easily understand what they were about to read.

I love free verse, which is how the poetry in this book (from what I've seen) is written. I don't mind poetry which is somewhat ambiguous and requires deeper thinking to reach its meaning, but simple, plainly spoken words can be a refreshing change. I was not lucky enough to get a free copy of the book so I don't know that I'll be reading it. Perhaps my library has a copy...

Though I’m not exactly a fan of poetry, I read some once in a while and with the way you explained the poetry in the book, I think I’ll check it out. Thanks for the review

Thank you for this wonderful review. Also, thank you for not deducting points for not having been written in your favorite style. I love poetry in every form, though I too prefer the more difficult to read poems. The sample poem in this volume is well written and I had something in my eye there at the end. I will be eagerly reading the rest of the book.

A World Diverse 111 by David Edmond is non-fiction. It has three parts, and it shares some important talk about people, society, etc. I personally don't like these kind of books. I find these a little serious. Congo on #botd.

I just started reading poetry so I prefer to start off with something not so complex. So I think this would be a great read for me. Congrats on the BOTD!

Not my style of choice but I applaud the daring choice of theme. Some things definitely need to be heard and changed about the world we live in. Congrats!

Congratulations on BOTD. I dont think I have read a book of poems unless I had to for school. But after the review I'm kind of interested in trying this one. "The first section explicitly points out the responsibility people have toward one another and develops the idea that life is largely what you make of it. In the second section, Edmond further delves into the notion that life is finite by addressing the feelings people have after losing someone they love. This part of the book brings to light the emotions behind grief and the notion of what one leaves behind after death. The final section of poems discusses the loss of human interaction in today’s world—largely due to the development of technology—and charges everyone with the task of rebuilding peace and respect among all people." All of these topics i agree with. Especially the lack of human interaction. I literally have to beg my husband to stop scrolling on Facebook. I think i will give this one a try and see what these poems are really about. They say , there is a first time for everything they say.

The book really addresses what the world actually looks like today. I appreciate that the poem is written in simple language, I normally shy away from the more ambiguous ones. Congratulations to the book of the day.

I rarely read whole books of poetry, though I appreciate the occasional poem. Good that the book addresses issues that are relevant today such as diversity and the effects of technology on relationships. I read a sample of the book and the direct language appeals to me, I don't like complex poems. Thanks for the great review!

My writting my not be all that elaborate, I may not have fancy discriptive words but I will honestly say that I wish I would have gotten a free copy of this book. It speaks to me on a very personal level because I am just beginning my life journey and seeking whatever knowledge possible.
