ARC received from the author -Dominic J. Anton- in exchange of an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

— overall thoughts: 3.5 —

Every few pages there are images or other drawings that turns this poetry collection into a mixed media format at times, which I really liked. It gave an authentic effect that I am a fan of.

If I was going to pick the most prominent tone that I got from this collection it definitely gives me those travel vibes that you get when you visit different countries. It reminded me of the time that I went to Paris which I think might be the inspiration since there were images of, I would like to say Paris, throughout the book. I’m really not sure of the places featured but it felt like reading through someone’s journey which was interesting!

With that, themes of freedom and trusting yourself was prevalent throughout most of the pieces, among other things.

I was a bit lost on the overall coherence and connection of the poems to each other but maybe that wasn’t the intention.

Even though some of the poems didn’t speak to me personally, I appreciated the raw thoughts that the author placed into writing. I read another review that about how this would sound great as spoken word and I definitely agree. It might have resonated more with me.

Nevertheless, this was a great collection to go through! Especially if you are looking for the kind of collection that take you into the author’s inner workings.
