I really enjoyed this collection. Misha Collins has a great way with words and makes beautiful poems without making them unreachable with hyperbole and words that make me stop and check the dictionary.
This collection is an interesting and at time amusing journey of different times throughout his life, and his experiences.

I had originally no intention of picking up this book, assuming it was published because of Misha Collins' name exclusively, but the poems included in the Amazon preview made me change my mind, and the full poetry selection absolutely delivers what the preview promises.
The first and last poems are the best of the book (which is just the right way to choose a publishing order), but none of the poems missed for me. Some of them made me think during the first few lines that this would be the first one I didn't like because they can sometimes get weird, but at the end Misha Collins always manages to bring it back to something with an emotional punch or an "ah" moment.
I really enjoyed reading this collection and can recommend it if you like modern poems. If you're looking for rhymes, you will be disappointed, though.

Il faut savoir que je ne suis pas une absolue fane de l'acteur, mais il est vrai que je l'ai connu dans certains rôles.
Quand j'ai appris que ce livre allait sortir, je voulais absolument l'obtenir haha.
Et je dois dire que je ne regrette pas. C'était très beau, très intense par moment. Il écrit vraiment avec son coeur, sa tête, tout son corps littéralement.
Ce qui fait que ça peut paraître un peu "intrusif" de lire certaines pages. Mais outre ça, j'ai vraiment aimé.
Evidemment, comme souvent dans les livres de poésie (et même les autres haha), on ne peut pas TOUT aimer, mais globalement, j'ai adoré.
Bref, je vous le recommande !

You should know that I'm not an absolute fan of the actor, but it is true that I have known him in certain roles.
When I found out this book was coming out, I absolutely wanted to get it haha.
And I have to say I don't regret it. It was very beautiful, very intense at times. He really writes with his heart, his head, his whole body literally.
Which makes it seem a bit "intrusive" to read some pages. But other than that, I really liked it.
Obviously, as often in poetry books (and even the others haha), we can't like EVERYTHING, but overall, I loved it.
In short, I recommend it !

I was surprised by the tone of the collection. I wasn't necessarily expecting every single poem to be comedic or happy, etc., but I was struck by the sadness imbued into several of the poems. The sections about love and longing portray just that. But they also carry an intense aching as Collins reminisces on the feeling of being in love and loving/appreciating certain things in life. He emphasizes how a deep and enduring love can stir such feelings of melancholy.
On the flip side, he also offers poems that focus on appreciating the small and unexpected things in life, being grateful for the mundane, stopping to smell the proverbial roses, not taking anything for granted. He brings readers on a vivid journey, taking them through his travels and documenting every sight, sound, and feeling. He speaks of strangers, friends, parents, and children in an inquisitive and also knowledgeable manner. As readers journey through the poems, they will sense that same curiosity, pausing to think about how they might have experienced something comparable.
I'm no poetry buff, and, frankly, I rarely pick up poetry. However, 'Some Things I Still Can't Tell You' was worth the time. Fans who have followed Collins from his time on 'Supernatural' and those who aren't familiar with him but somehow found themselves reading this collection will gain something from these poems. They're raw and honest. Collins invites readers to learn a little more about his inner thoughts in a deeply intimate manner. He somehow manages to capture some of the most ineffable feelings every human experiences. He writes about love, heartache, sadness, doubt, joy -- you name it. Collins captures the beauty and the ugliness of life. He captures it all, and those feelings are so visceral that they'll linger within readers long after they've finished reading.

Most of these poems will make you Very Sad, but in a way that feeds your heart and soul.

i love misha lots- these poems were so lovely and sweet.
First of all, I’m so happy that this isn’t a “modern-enter-poetry” book!
I’ve heard some of the Misha’s poems before reading the entire book, so a expected to enjoy. However, I didn’t expect to enjoy that much. Misha it’s a real poet and this poetry is truly beautiful!
Thanks for sharing it with us, Misha Collins!
