Field Guide to the Haunted Forest by Jarod K. Anderson

hopeful inspiring fast-paced

3.5

I saw some poetry of the author of this little book on the internet and fell in love with his perception of our world and the connections he made between our lives and nature.

This book however doesn‘t touch on this as much as I hoped. There were some really nice poems that spoke to me but none that connected as deeply to me as the ones I saw on social media before. I am therefore just feeling a bit disappointed. It is a good collection of poems but it is always a little bit repetitive of how we are nature and therefore worth loving and existing. 

I don’t regret buying and reading this book though. The authors appreciation of nature is still obvious in his writing and makes it worth it in my opinion. Maybe I’ll check out his other books. This reads a lot like the first poetry one writes and tries to capture all the big feelings. It is not bad but it also lacks some depth. And I do believe there is potential for more.
