When it comes to poetry I always either want to feel something or be surprised. So what happens when you get a bit of both? You smile and read the next poem. Poetry is different for everyone and if you want structured simply rhyming verses, then maybe this collection isn't for you. If however you enjoy earnest verses that capture extremely relatable emotions, covering everything from traveling and seeing a loch to eating oreos or chopping onions, then by all means dive in.
I'll admit I wasn't sure what to expect from this collection, and I think jumping in blind definitely made this collection even more enjoyable because there are so many surprises within. A lot of it reads like poetic prose and occasionally stream of thought, or more so extremely heartfelt journaling, and I love that intimate aspect to it. If you're looking to add some poetry to your TBR (which I always am), then check out Twilight Dips

This is the largest collection of poetry I’ve read so far. I love it so much and I’ll be reading many of these poems over again and again. I’ve kept a list of those that touched my heart and those I found to be very clever.
I especially like the following and I’ll explain why: ‘Poison Darts’ is lovely. Yes, Debra Parmley, poetry truly is nourishment. ‘Desert Places’ took me many places, I’ve never been. ‘Landing in Memphis’ is very good. A question is asked: Can’t we love the soil anymore? I’ve lived on a farm for the last 18 years. When it’s dark, I love the city lights, seen from a tall building or an airplane, but I would never want to live in the city again. In her poem, “Outside the Town’, the author mentions a waterfall. I have a waterfall on my property and love poems that mention waterfalls.
My list contains many other poems in this collection that I can’t wait to read again.
If you love poetry as much as I do, this collection will be a treat for you. I’m certain you’ll never forget many of them. I won’t.

I really enjoy this book! It's one I can pick up and read anytime and find a poem in for any mood.
I like how Debra Parmley laid out each section with all the poems in their places. I really like the last section called "Travel around the world". There's a lot of detail, it's almost like your right there in the poem too!

Read this collection while on a plane flying over the midwest. The prose flowed easily and was more free style than rigid structure. The emotions evoked in the wording was a welcome way to pass my time on the flight.

I really enjoyed the reading the poems. My personal favorite is the beauty and grandeur of the Grand Canyon in prose.

Fans of Debra Parmley's other work may also be fans of this collection, or those who have not been exposed to enough modern poetry to discern finer details. Maybe her poetry is exemplary and only rubbed me wrong. Either way, I personally find that there are many collections of modern poetry that are far more worth my time.
