Some Things I Still Can't Tell You
by Misha Collins
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.
