I enjoyed this read. You can feel the time pass in each passage of time as well as the emotional state of the author. I also really enjoyed the included pictures being able to see a glimpse of how the author see them with the poem to reflect on. The book itself is a collection of poems spread over 5 years. The title marks the year of his birth but the book itself are moments of his life and reflections starting in his thirties.

Here are some of my favorites: Keep Sparkling, You must stay at home, and Fallen by the sword

One of the biggest things in poetry for me is did it make me feel and or could I close my eyes and see and it checked that for me.

Id recommend this as a read and reflect style book (though i suppose most poems are such but its to be said that this fits that bill well) ( )
