Thank you for sharing your review with us. I only read the sample pages, but I agree that the language used was simple and easy to understand, which I think might appeal to a wider audience than usual.

Books of poetry (in my opinion) can feel very haphazard. However the ambiguous and detailed poems themselves sound interesting.

I find the first poem, which is the one available for free review, quite charming. It's a sweet analysis of how each journey through life is different depending on one's decisions, and that even if one does not pick the same stops as other might choose, this does not prove the journey to be any less enjoyable.

The sample I read Journey's End was so deep. It really resonated with my inner poet and it made me think about life and the people, places, and experiences with encounter along the way. David Edmond's right, life is like a journey and we are on a train just waiting till we meet our stop. I use to write poetry when I was in high school, and this truly took me back to a time when everything seemed so clear and simple. At that time, I thought I had all the answers and I had life figured out. Wow, just reading that evoke such a feeling I hadn't felt in years. Well written, so inspiring, so true, it's like life lessons for dummies or something. Simple and eloquent, I read it out loud more than once. :lol:

Poetry isn't really my cup of tea even though I used to write it all the time. However, I'm happy to see that this book is thought-provoking and will make people sit down and discuss things like diversity. Great review!

Many of the new poetry collections seem to be very ill-planned and not too enjoyable. However, in the case of A World Diverse 111, the poet/author has given so much attention to detail that the book definitely deserves a good, appreciative read!

I love reading a straightforward kind of poetry. Another book right up to my alley!

The line of these poems that the author draws is tangible and magnetic. Poetry has its own beauty which I didn't touch it in depth till now, but I believe this book might help me break the ice. Thank you for your graceful review!

This review truly justifies the essence of the poem. 'A World Diverse 111' is really a mirror for those who wants to know the reality of the world. author's expression and views are well displayed in a single page of review and truly encourage people to read it. we all are well aware of what is happening around us but only a few have wisdom to look at its gravity. only some look at it's other side and the rest overlook it in the race of life. Reading the sample of this book and it's review by ' David Edmond' i am looking forward to immerse my self in the ocean of intellectual thoughts and look at the reality of life without any fear. I am sure i will question some of my philosophies that i build myself through the years and might some new thoughts replace the old ones. All the thoughts that are concerned with this book( as far as the review displays) surely will bring a good change. i have read the sample of this book but wasn't sure enough of what the whole book would be about but by reading your review i feel i am sure enough to buy a copy of it one day. thank you! sir. :)

I don't think this book would be for me, as I am not really interested in poetry and I don't feel well-versed enough in the genre to be able to appreciate it fully. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, it sounds like a well organized collection and covers some deep themes that are relevant to the world today.

I like the idea of diversity and multicultulturalism the author wants to highlight, but I wish the poems were more lyrical and complex. However, some may appreciate the straightforward style and clear language. Thanks for your review!
