4/5 Stars (%76/100)
If you are not familiar with Old English or Anglo-Saxon myths and legends, it will be hell for you to even understand it let alone like it. To me, it was absolutely great. I really like epic poems and Beowulf is one of the forefathers of epic poetry. It inspired hundreds of literary works and many famous writers. Great story, and great characters. A must-read for anyone really.

One of the most important writers of the 20th century. He is also a leading figure in modernist poetry. He has a very unique writing style which is witty and ironic. Not everyone can understand it but you have to learn to appreciate him. One of my favourite modernist poets.

Comparison Between Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights
There are many authors who show us 18th century British society. While some of the authors glorify the community life in the 18th century, some of them criticize the century by their strict rules about the women and social discriminations. Undoubtedly, Emily Bronte and Jane Austen are
Book review in my words -
this book is perfect combination of poetry , romance and love story..the love story which i can't explain in words..my silence would better tell you..the lovestory of 16 year old graziella and french sailor is speechless...if you believe in love you should try this book... in the end poetry was remarkable..author speaks out of his heart..
I would not weep, but dream for aye.

The book is split into three main parts; the introduction, death poems by zen monks and finally death poems by haiku writers which is definitely my favourite. I advise you not to skip the introduction because you learn a great deal about the place of poetry in Japan and a lot of technical information about haikus and death poems. Though zen monks' poems were interesting, I found haiku writers' poems much powerful and beautiful. I've always liked haikus and tried to write a couple myself.
There were a lot of poems that I highlighted and I plan to read this book at least once more. I loved that the author (rather editor or compiler) decided to put the original poems in Japanese as well as certain information about the author, the poem or the time period in which it was written. Not only you get to read a bunch of beautiful and sad poems, but you also learn a lot of Japanese phrases, words, and also their culture and way of living. It was especially sad to read poems from authors who died in their 30s and 40s. It was also interesting that most of these men were ordinary. (Some are poets, some are writers, some farmer, some monk etc.) Finally, I learned that Ryunosuke Akutagawa wrote some haikus under the name Gaki and the famous painter Hokusai (who painted The Great Wave of Kanagawa) also wrote haikus.
I really liked the book in general. Beautiful poems, lots of interesting information about the writers and poems, and it is very well organized.
Better than Rupi Kaur but still pretty bad

Another "instapoet" who became a writer because of their popularity on social media. Before you yell at me let me clear one thing; I am not anti-feminist nor I have any grudge against women or anyone who identify themself as women. I didn't like this book rather I found it okay because of the writing only. With that out of the way let me talk about the book itself.
First of all, this not a poetry book. I refuse to accept the "things" that are in this book as poetry. This is the case of Rupi Kaur all over again.

The so called poetry in the book looks like this. They are not beautiful or make sense at all. However, some of the prose was actually interesting. Perhaps the only thing that made me read the book is the fact that Gill talked about lesser goddesses and other women who stayed in the background because they are wives of great heroes. This is why it was good to read more things about them. However, most of them were still boring and painful to go through. Like Rupi Kaur, she is trying too hard and it is obvious when you read it as well. I would have DNF it but I finished it nonetheless.
In short, the "poems" in this book are terrible. The prose is okay but most of them are still cringy and boring. It is good that Greek mythology is getting more recognition in contemporary literature and it was also interesting to read about certain women who are less known by people.
