Don't think I was the intended audience of this book.

There were a few poems in this book that were outstanding and I cherished reading and exploring these- some examples include the stunning To Ask by Julie Murphy and Dale Biron's Laughter. Overall there were perhaps 7 poems i highlighted to read again and will stay with me..

This book is really well set up for those who want to explore their own happiness, gratefulness and who wish to attempt reflective creative writing. There were prompts at thoughtful moments throughout the collection but I did not find them inspiring for the sort of person I am - I can totally see why someone who has more faith might enjoy them though.

The collection also includes reading group questions and information on all of the poets which is an excellent touch.

Overall I think it was well curated and thematically sensitive- just not for me.
