Here at Dawn: Poetry and Prose by Beau Taplin

1.0

ARC received from Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley
--------------------------------------------
I used to love [a:Beau Taplin|7861886|Beau Taplin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1410703812p2/7861886.jpg]'s work. He had this ability of making your heart flutter with just a few words. So, when I received this ARC, I was over the moon.

And that is probably why this book fell flat, I had high expectations.

"Allow your heart room to be heard."

What does that even mean? Is that even a proper sentence? Why should your heart be empty for someone to hear you?

"The absence of light makes nothing in this universe any less astonishing or magic."

Magical, you mean?

I could go on, but you get my point.

Its a poor imitation of his previous work, It's pretentious, and it's disappointing.
