How to Review Poetry

I currently have a blog post about how to write good and constructive reviews for stories, but what about poetry? Poetry can be a little tricky for me to review because it usually reflects a deep emotional connection with the writer.

Purple Sky Vol. 1: Talking to the Moon

I’m a sucker for any and all poetry. This book has been sitting in my Kindle library for a while now, but I’ve finally gotten around to reading it and I’m glad I did. Talking to the Moon by Marie K. Ricci is the first volume in their Purple Sky series. To be honest, it had just the vibe I was looking for with its extremely relatable content.

Coffee, Alcohol, and Heartbreak

I love reading poetry books. They’re quick reads that pack such an emotional punch. Much of the poetry that I’ve been introduced to comes from indie authors wanting to share their experiences with the world and they’re generally relatable. As such was my latest read (for a second time.) Check out my review for Tyler Wittkofsky’s Coffee, Alcohol, and Heartbreak: A Poetry Collection.

Chaotic Silence: Poems

This week’s indie book feature goes to author Cynthia Cisneros and her book titled Chaotic Silence: Poems. It’s the kind of read you want to dive into when the world is quiet and all that surrounds you is the comforting blanket of darkness.
