Book Synopsis:
Imagine a shift to the way you see the world that arises through poetic narration.
Imagine the world, at its base level, is a collection of selves. These selves collide, disperse, intermingle, and share themselves in lines of free verse. Such is the premise of Versions of the Self, poetry that assumes multiple types of selves exist and relate in ways that alter them. Each of the eight chapters looks at a different type of self, including the singular “I” and romantic interactions. These unique 80 poems definitely color themselves outside of the lines.
Book Review:
This is a wonderful collection of personal poetry which gives a fascinating insight into the concept of self and how our selves are affected by and change due to outside factors such as our loves, vulnerability, family, friendships, and relationships.
It doesn’t shy away or hide from difficult themes, the words are there for the reader to see and interpret in free verse which flows like a river.
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of poetry. It’s a little different, quite deep and intense in parts and fascinating throughout.
Would highly recommend.
My rating: 4.5 stars.

Another Canadian author. Thanks for featuring us. Sounds like a great book of poetry.
Yes, certainly is. And been my pleasure Darlene. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful review! It is nice to be appreciating for writing differently and for not avoiding challenging themes xx
My pleasure. I tend to often write about life’s challenges. But also sometimes the opposite. I’m very much a light and dark person.
Fabulous review to share, Marje. 🙂 Bravo to Christy! xo
Thank you Natalie, yes bravo to Christy. 🙂
