A Roomful of Machines - 4 stars

I received this collection of poetry from the author in exchange for an honest review. I thought I would not have time to get to it for a couple of more months since I have several of books to review right now, but I decided to check it out and I found that I got caught up in the poetry that I was reading.

There was some darker poetry that I thought was good and also I found some contemporary and humorous poetry as well. There were a few of what I called the 'death poems' that were both dark and humorous, I enjoyed those a lot, they were probably among my favorites which were Soup, Tea Cup, Center of Gravity, Soul, Wheelchair, and many more. I also discovered many different styles of writing in this collection and I also enjoyed that as well.

The only problem that really bothered me was that sometimes I found it hard to find where the next poem would start. It is on my kindle so maybe that is why it did not have separation between poems, it would be more annoying if it were the same way for a printed copy. Overall I found this collection to be really enjoyable and would gladly read more from this author.
