When I was asked to read and review this book I was a little skeptical whether I was going to enjoy it or not. Poetry is very hit or miss for me, specially religious poetry (I later found out it is not religious) so I was definitely nervous. However, I am happy to say that I loved this poetry collection and I can’t believe I had doubts about whether I would like it or not.

This is a powerful and evocative poetry collection comprised of four main sections (Cries of Common Pain, Call to Action, Songs of Hope, and Echoes of Hope) in which the author explores themes of resistance, empowerment, and hope.

I loved this collection, the note from the author is a must read and I overall this collection was so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. This collection is thought provoking and it allows you to analyze what you are doing to make this world a better place.

If you are concerned that this is religious poetry, it is not, this is not a poetry collection about god. This is focused on humans, and what we as humans are doing and what we are supposed to do.

This is not a book to make us feel bad about what we do and don’t do, this book is questioning our humanity and what we are doing in order to help one another. Don’t feel bad reading this book. Feel inspired by this book to be better, to do better. The topics this deals with are so important that I believe this is a must read.

This is a short, important collection, this sheds light on important issues that we sometimes neglect and gives us the opportunity to understand and mend out ways.

I will buy myself a physical copy of this book because it is definitely worth reading.
