carinasamantha's review against another edition
4.0
Interesting to see other themes and topics (eg family and childhood) that are rarely ever part of his more popular pieces that have been making rounds on the Internet. While obviously talented—McDaniel is a wordsmith!—there is a lack of thematic unity and cohesion that would tie these poems together as a collection. On their own, there are a lot of poems that are beautiful. Taken together, it represents a somewhat weak collection that have beautifully written poems that have very little to do with one another. The author's intent is sometimes lost on me. This is my first McDaniel collection, and this was published in 1998, so perhaps the next books he has released may have already addressed these issues.
