Rating: 4 Stars
Author, A.D. Joyce has created an innovative take on poetry month. Her strategy of composing a poem a day into book form is very interesting.
Author Joyce shows versatility in different styles of poetry, particularly Japanese forms of Haiku and Tanka. I am now familiar with the poetic form of Fib and Cinquains. She gives a definition of each form as well as her motivation for writing the piece, which I truly found informative.
She has a multitude of forms from Sonnets to free verse. I especially liked the poem Incomplete Sonnet. There Is something for everyone in this book. I truly recommend this as a good read.
Good luck to you author A.D. Joyce and thank you for taking the reader on a poetic journey.
