This is Heather Awad’s first published collection of poetry. She has been writing for most of her adult life, self-schooled in poetry writing and influenced by some of the greats, such as Billy Collins and Stephen Dunn. Awad’s poetry is simplistic in style yet she manages to pull you into each poem as if you were wandering around inside her mind, seeing the world as she lays it out for you. Much of her work comes from her own life experiences and then some are from her whimsical imagination. The imagery is crystal-clear, as is her own heart which you can see a little of in every one of the sixty-two poems in this collection. Keep it with you wherever you go, to read your favorites again and again.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. and decided I liked Anne Sexton's work By bob_the_goon I don't typically read poetry. I mean, I took a modern poetry class in college, and decided I liked Anne Sexton's work, so I bought her collected works, but when I tried to branch out from there, nothing really clicked. So while there are several thousand books in my house, only one of them is a poetry collection, until now.These poems are very easy to read. They're diverse in topic and mood. The author has a gift of making you feel like you're right there with her, walking through a gorge, or spying out the window at people on the streets of New York. A fair number of poems in this collection deal with love, relationships, and romanticism, but never veer into the clichéd unrequited love scenarios or the pathos of love lost."Hummus" covers the awkward dinner with the protagonist dreading her companion's awkward question that's obviously coming, while "No Different From Me" takes a broader view of relationships in general. Other poems, like "New Harlem" and "Dancing to Johnny Cash" hone in on when the moment in a relationship when your realize it's not meant to be, without coming off as bitter, while "Anything" is hopeful and romantic.I don't mean to give the impression that this is a collection about love and relationships, because there is a diverse collection of poems here. The ones above are some of my favorites though. Some of them are short, whimsical pieces that will put a smile on your face. There are great observational pieces such as "Silly Shoes" and "Gas Station Girl" of life filtered through the lense of experience. "The Bus" is maybe the shortest piece in this collection, but one of my favorites. It's a simple observation on how our actions reflect on how we see others.With 62 poems, there's something for everyone here. This is a great book to curl up under a blanket with and read at a leisurely pace, maybe with some hot tea on a lazy rainy Saturday, which is exactly how I read it. It's also a great collection to pick up and just read a single poem or two, something that I find myself doing in the week that I've had it. If this were available in hard copy, it would sit right next to my Anne Sexton's Collected Works book, which would make it even better for leafing through. On the other hand, having it in digital form means it's available wherever I happen to be, be it the lunch room at work, or sitting on the steps waiting for a ride.Even if you're not a fan of poetry, I highly recommend this collection. I typically am attracted to the darker things in life, which this most certainly is not, and I really like this. There's a lot to be said for the power of a short string of words to put a smile on ones face.

The author is very honest and real in her poems, giving them an intimate feel. She has a fluid, steady flow to her words, where one line carries seamlessly into the next. There is an abundance of rich imagery which lifts off the page. Just lovely. There is also some pieces that will put a smile on your face, which I found to be just the right complement to the more sentimental pieces. I would definitely recommend this collection as a must read for anyone who loves poetry.The author graciously provided me with a copy for my unbiased review.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Splendid Debut By Nicholas Trandahl What a splendid entrance into the literary world from Heather Awad! These 62 contemporary poems are primarily free verse, easy to read, and intensely relatable. In many of the poems I found something that stabbed me with familiarity, which is the duty of poetry; to give us something to connect to. I profoundly saw my best friend in "Taughannock Falls", I felt the voice of Raymond Carver in the poems "New Harlem" and "Brown Grass", and within "Hummus" (my favorite piece in Awad's debut collection) I truly believe those final two lines are some of the finest I've read in recent memory. Just ... perfect.Awad's bio on the back of the book says she has another collection in the works for Fall 2016. I'll be waiting.My favorite poems in this collection are: "Hummus", "Closer Now", "Daisy Fields", "Anything", "New Harlem", "Brown Grass", Taughannock Falls", and "Leftovers".
