I read this for free sitelinkhere.


After reading sitelinkGROWING: a collection of prose poetry vignettes, I was in shock by James' talent and when I found another of his books on the same site, I had to get in and read it.


Unfortunately, I'm really unsure where I stand on this one, I really enjoyed some of the poems, They gave me a new aspect on something that I'm going through right now, and it's helping me get through a lot.
The rest of the poems were very religious, which I've said time and time again, I really don't like to read.

It's not a bad thing, I just don't personally enjoy them due to my own religious beliefs.
Other people may very well enjoy this though, and I would recommend reading it! James' control over words is simply stunning and everything flows so well into one another.
