These poems are more like clever vignettes. This may put off some readers. Quite frankly, it should've put me off as this is not my usual poetical cup of tea; but for some reason they worked for me. I was amused by the humor; the satirizing glance at life.

There are some poems in this anthology that I like: Memory and Loss; The Lives They Lead; Stories; Minnie's Death; Braille; The Man Who Invented Last Vegas; Bournehurst-on-the-Canal; Report From The Past; and The Meeting. The poems in this collection are not the usual or contemporary ones that you can read from best-selling poets famous that millennials enjoy today. But if only readers could try to be a little more perceptive, they could discern these poems of Gerald Constanzo.

This wasn't really for me. I recognized a lot of skill in the writing, but the subjects of the poetry didn't really connect with me.

I'm always looking for new poetry to explore and thought that this would be another adventure. While I could see why some would enjoy this collection, it wasn't for me. A lot of the time I didn't feel like I was reading poetry, rather someone's stream of consciousness. After less than a week of reading, there's nothing I can remember about it. This would be a great collection for someone who's already a fan, but it wasn't for me unfortunately!

A beautiful collection of poetry. I'll be looking for more from this author.
