A review by jbtrepagnier
Smoke and Shadows by Joanne Van Leerdam

5.0

This is not my first book of poetry, nor the first book I've read by this author. I've also read collections of short stories. As usual, this author provides a gamut of emotions throughout the entire collection, whether you are reading poetry, or short stories. This collection has a theme and explores a wide variety of emotions. Some of the poems are melancholy, some a little playful. If you're a fan of poetry, I'd highly recommend picking this or some of her other works of poetry up. If you're also a fan of short stories, she has some other works that are also excellent
