Whispers From The Moon by Lee Broda
2.0

This is a modern poetry collection and, like many modern poetry collections, it's a mixed bag, to say the least. I really liked the format, with the book being split into four sections to correspond with different phases of the moon, and thought that idea as a whole was quite clever.

There were some poems that I really loved, in particular some about family and being an Israeli woman. But, particularly towards the end, there were many poems that just felt like nothing. They were just words strung together in a way that sounded pretty as they covered a topic already covered ad nauseam in previous poems.

Lee Broda is certainly a talented poet, but I don't think many of these poems warranted being part of an entire book.

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
