Advantages Very deep and meaningful
Disadvantages Takes a lot of effort
When I first picked up this book in the shop, I thought to myself, 'Ah, some nice relaxing poetry', but once I got it home I realised this wasn't the case! As a keen poet myself, this book has been very useful, it is very inspiring and the quality of the poetry is absolutely fantastic! It does, however, require a lot of hard work on the part of the reader. I had to read each poem several times before discovering the true meaning of it, but they are a joy to read! Now I have put in the effort, every time I pick up the book, I discover something new hidden within the poems. It's one of those books where the poems can mean different things to everyone and they can all be right!
