Hello, beautiful readers! Today is day four of The One Redeemed's blog tour. Jules Paige has honored me with hosting me on her blog today. She is a wonderful poet and a supportive blogger. I met her through our online poetry community and am so happy that I did.
Before you check out her post, I'd like to share one of the poetry books that contain some of her beautiful poetry. If you haven't read poetry yet, I encourage you to do so! You can visit her blog here to read more of them. Click on the book cover or title for the link.
Link for the blog tour is at the end.
My 5-Star Review:
This anthology of poetry is so beautiful! From the cover to the words within, everything exudes light and hope. The book is comprised of works from poets across the world, bringing together different perspectives from different cultures. It is organized by the poet's name, so you are able to read the poems from one poet at a time. The beginning explains why the two editors, Robbie Cheadle and Colleen Chesebro, chose this theme and the tanka variations for the anthology. They also highlighted one poem from each type of tanka poem, and I was honored to see one of my poems listed there. At the end, there are links for the readers to find more works from the poets, which I found to be a nice touch.
I had SO many favorites. Many poems made my heart feel lighter. I found myself smiling, reflecting, and connecting throughout the entire book. Some of the poets whose words I really connect with are Melissa Davilio, Tamiko Dooley, Chris Hall, Marsha Ingrao, Jules Paige, Brenda Marie, Selma Martin, Michelle Ayon Navajas, D. Wallace Peach, Gwen M. Plano, Jennifer Russo, Reena Saxena, and Nicole Smith. Like I said, I loved all the poetry in this book.
As it's an annual anthology, I look forward to reading the next edition. If you enjoy reading poetry and finding moments to sit in reflection and gratitude, I highly recommend this book!
