This book of narrative poetry is a beautiful, rich, sad and ultimately uplifting chronicle of a young man's endurance of child abuse and the resulting internal pain with which he still struggles. Much of the book is dark, but the overarching theme of hope for the future never fails to shine. The poetry itself is luminous. Highly recommended.
-TJ on More to Life MORE TO LIFE by Jacob Lasher is a lovely book full of inspiring poems that are full of raw emotion and honesty. The poet clearly aims for his poems to have a healing effect on the people that are suffering from mental illness. The poems are varied in length, you have two lines and very long ones. All of them though manage to transmit powerful emotions and feelings that I am sure a lot of us will connect and sympathise with. Jacob Lasher through his own experiences wrote beautiful poems that first had a healing effect on himself and after seeing how his poetry transformed him released his lyrics to the world. What Jacob did was to show to the world his darkest thoughts and managed through his poetry to leave behind all the bad stuff and allow his life to drive towards the light. Highly recommended it - KM on More to Life |
