From the first poem, What is the It? which begins, “Some people do it in rhythm, / others do it in rhyme.” to the end of the book, I was hooked. I used it as a bedtime read, what I read before turning out the light. No nightmares riding my skull those nights.
The book has many photo throughout, but it is the words I was most interested in. Invisible Forces closes with this couplet, “I pray I have done all I can for your success, / I am capable of only very simple magic.” Haven’t we all prayed for those we love, sad we only had a very simple magic and needed the help of a Divine?
Normally, I will find a couple of poems in a book that I really like, but there are several in this book. Especially Permission to Fail. “Make a way / by going / begin /not knowing /” begins this poem, it ends, “venture / into the unknown / be wrong / honest / imperfect / you have / permission to fail/” I think this poem should be taught in every school. We all need to fail so we can grow.
The final poem is short and contains a great deal of balance, Esse, “And / our lives / were filled /with / Joy / ...Our Sorrow / ...and / balanced / in / reality”
This book will happily reside in my bookcase for years, and often taken out and read.
