I received an e-ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this poetry collection. It was really interesting to get to see some of the private thoughts and musings over the years from someone so heavily in the public eye. However, because these poems are all written at different times and categorized by theme, understanding how they all fit together over time is a bit difficult, so if your brain works like mine and wants to create a timeline based on what you are reading even if it does not have a ‘plot’ you may struggle a bit with this collection.
This collection is tender and sweet but also shows some of the harder days and bigger struggles in life. I enjoyed the fact that the duality of life was represented here, that the collection was not all about joy or all about pain but instead about all of the collections of little moments that happen in life that Misha Collins decided to write down. The mundane becomes beautiful in his eyes and through his words. It is a gift to be able to see the world through his eyes just for a few moments. I hope that he continues to write and publish poetry because he has such a unique view of life and what matters in life.
