satrine11 's review for:
The Universe of Us, Volume 4
by Lang Leav
You can also read this review on my blog.
I enjoyed every single poem in this collection, which doesn’t happen very often. I really liked that it included both traditional and free verse poems. Both styles were great even though I enjoyed the free verse poems more. Because the language is simple and the topics universal, I found all poems quite relatable. Finding something I’ve felt portrayed so clearly by someone else is very valuable to me. Making that connection to poetry is what makes me love it and The Universe of Us achieved just that.
Does this collection offer something utterly unique? Probably not. As I said, the topics of love and loss are universal and theme of the collection (the universe) is not something new, but Lang Leav did it in a way that spoke to me – truthfully and clearly. That, for me, makes it special.
Favorite Poems: Today, Moments, A Lesson, Gone, A Premonition, Self-Love, Dark Room, Solace, Your Words, Your Darkest Self
