I thought I'd reviewed this item ages ago, but if I did, better you didn't see that. I did not enjoy this book, and my mother told me that if I couldn't say something nice, I shouldn't say anything at all.

Questo libro mi è stato gentilmente inviato dalla casa editrice

Sono molto contenta di confermare nella recensione quella che era stata la mia prima impressione quando la CE mi ha proposto di leggere questo libro: è una raccolta di poesie davvero interessante.

In The Dark, Soft Earth è diviso in dieci libri e ognuno di essi si concentra nel suscitare impressioni diverse, che vengono rafforzare dalla presenza di vari dipinti alternati ai componimenti. Leggere questa raccolta è stato come ammirare una mostra di acquarelli.

Inoltre, sono stata colpita a tradimento dal fatto che l’ottavo libro è dedicato ai Tarocchi, una delle mie passioni (magari un giorno ve ne parlo più diffusamente), ed è bello vedere ancora una volta queste carte utilizzate per quello che, a parer mio, sanno fare meglio: ispirare nuova arte.

Quindi, io consiglio la lettura di questa raccolta: uscirà il sette luglio ed è in inglese, ma non impraticabile se il vostro livello è buono. ( )

Thanks to NetGalley and Plum White Press for letting me read and review this ARC of this book of poetry.
I've always been of fan of poetry and the imagery and feelings expressed so uniquely and creatively through the view of the soul when written in poetry form.
This is a nice collection of poetry with various types and subjects written about and feelings/emotions expressed throughout the poems. It has a wide range of topics, feelings and such covered in this collection.
While I wasn't always a fan of some of the poems, I still enjoyed reading and seeing the imagery created and feelings expressed from a lot of these poems as well.
This shows a good range of poetry that is covered in this collection and touches on beautiful things with nature, love, life and death and other topics also, but it does touch on and has poetry in it as well that can be a bit dark and go a bit into other topics such as lust, desire and such as well so it covers and touches on both good and bad aspects of things like love, lust, life, death and such.
It was a nice change from what I usually read to sample a nice, short and sweet collection of poetry that was also a quick and easy read for the most part that was simply meant to be enjoyed and tasted like a sample of desserts.
If you are a poet, like poetry or enjoy trying something different for a change once in a while as I do then you might enjoy this collection of poetry as a bit of fresh air and break from the norm as I did. ( )

the poetry written was somewhat simplistic and have heard some of the phrases prior , would not consider this a work of art at any case , many seemed to be too short ( )

I enjoyed this book of poetry. I love poems that give me feels and ones that fire my imagination. I found both types in this book. My favorites were the chapters titled Omens and An Entrance to the Tarot Garden. The poems in Omens included a few about death that gave me chills and sang to my heart. In the Tarot Garden the Tarot deck used was one I am very familiar. This really resonated with me as I would often meditate on a card from this deck. The author did include artwork which enhanced the experience of reading his book of poems. The other chapters had poems I enjoyed, too. I would recommend it to poetry lovers.
