The Best of Atticus Poetry - A Curated Collection of Favorite Poems - Linen Bound Hardcover Coffee Table Book - 10 Years of Poems, Epigrams and Aphorisms: The Best of Atticus - 10 Years of Poetry
A decade of writing poems, Atticus has carefully selected your favorite poems to share in a collectors edition. Linen hardcover cover coffee table book with 186 pages of poems and full color illustrations. Through heartbreak and falling in love, looking back and looking inward, he writes about finding ourselves, finding our purpose, and the simple joys of life with grace, wit, and longing.Whether it’s drinking wine out of oak barrels, laughing until you cry, dancing in old barns until the sun comes up, or making love on sandy beaches, Atticus reminds us that magic is everywhere―we simply have to look for it.Atticus, a 3-time New York Times Best-Seller, is a storyteller, observer, and the author of Love Her Wild. Choosing to remain anonymous, Atticus stays behind a mask to remind himself to always write what he feels instead of what he thinks he should feel. He loves the ocean, the desert, whiskey, and playing with words.
How can this be rated so high?! My 3 stars is barely a 3. There are a few thought provoking poems, but most are just trying to be profound. These are suppose to be the best too, so not impressed. Would like to see more diversity in subjects, as these are short and generally about how much one loves another. We get it. Will mention the artwork in this edition...(insert shifty eyes).
Next up for my poetry intake, I will reach for a classic...Whitman, Poe, or Dickinson. Have read two "newbies" and expected more. Need to refresh the palette before dining on the next course of new.
𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐌𝐒.ೃ࿐ Every poem in this collection was well written. Each one has its own style of comfort. What I mean by that is you can make perceptions of the poems however you want. Page age 103, for example. “Love could be labeled as poison and we’d drink it anyways.” A reader could perceive the meaning as love is a risk worth taking or it could be perceived as love can lead us to no good. The poems are diverse and I think that one is a good example of what I mean.
𝐀𝐑𝐓.ೃ࿐ I love the art pages that were in the book. It made it lively and beautiful. My favorite one is the page on 169. This one to me is so comforting. I could honestly stare at the page in full admiration. The style of the art is very lovely and warm. These are the type of pieces you would see in a museum.
𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐋.ೃ࿐ I love the style of the book! I highly recommend reading it. It’s so perfect to read in the autumn or winter mornings, it’ll bring so much comfort.
