Illumination

by Joseph Hunt

These are poems for people who don't do poetry. For the people who aren't poetry readers, there is sure to be something in here for you. People have said that the poems in this anthology are very different, and just as times change, so has literature, and this anthology is one of the gems that has been salvaged through the words of a teenager.

Reviews

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eastwood's chapbook, "Illumination," is a paean to adolescent angst, primarily written in free verse.

There are some deep pieces concerning suicide, eating disorders and addiction ... but the majority of the works seem to concern a blonde-haired, green-eyed girl who sometimes wears too much lipstick and spends a lot of time ignoring the writer.

For my money, the best piece in the work is "Gemini," with its clever emphasis on the duality of man, nature and art.
