Lucinda Clark

This book is a very short collection of a couple of poems and two short stories.
I found the poems excellently written, yet for some reason they didn't suck me in. It's probably a me problem and not the poetry, though. I loved the topics and the perspectives they gave, and I can't really say anything bad about the wording, either. Objectively they are very good, I can see that, I simply tend to enjoy the kind of poetry more that sound like music to my ears. Does that make sense...? I'm not sure. Anyways, though these were not exactly my kind of poems, I enjoyed their content and meaning, and I can honestly say they are very well-written.

The first short story (written by R. Xavier Clark) was my favorite thing in this collection. It was sweet and had a bit of humor, too. I enjoyed reading it and I would like to read more of this.

The second short story was good, too, but I didn't really feel like it was a short story. It was an excerpt from a book the author (Silvana Marconi) has written, and while it made her book sound very interesting, it didn't really make any sense without getting the whole story. It was more like an advertisement for the book - if it's supposed to be that, it works, though, because I'd be happy to read that book.

I give this book 3 stars, with adding that it's simply given to this book, and that it made me want to read more of these authors/poet, so it's absolutely a rating of this particular book - having read more from them, I'd probably rate their work higher.… (plus d'informations)
