Title: I'm Done Author: Gurpreet Kaur I have always had a bit of a soft spot for confessional poetry, and Gurpreet Kaur's I'm Done  is no exception. I breezed through the poetry in this book, ravenously consuming words of love, heartbreak, despair, determination, and resilience. Almost any person can relate to Kaur's work, and I'm truly pleased with how the writing has matured since the publication of Warriors.  The layout of this book is stellar, with the alternating black and white pages and the creative spacing to enhance the reading. Kaur also employs strong use of metaphor. My only real complaints are that some of the word choices are a little awkward and repetitive and that the book could use a good editor to help smooth out some of the rough spots. I am quite glad that I read this one and give it a strong four out of five stars. ------------------------------------------ READING PROGRESS Ammey McKeaf by Jane Shoup: 73% Insomnia by Stephen King...

Title: Warriors Author: Gurpreet Kaur This is a book of poetry, the author of which reached out to me to review. I read this mostly in one sitting, and I found the poems to be relatable, which is good. The grammar and spelling are not the best at parts, and some of the word choices are awkward, but it kept coming back to the fact that most of the poems hit home for me pretty hard and I think would for most people. It was a decent effort, and I think the poet will definitely only improve with experience. Three out of five stars. ------------ READING PROGRESS: Let's Dance, Snoopy by Charles M.
