Some poems/ thoughts were really good. Many are just simple thoughts, too simple to carry any true meaning. Overall, not bad but neither was I mind blown or particularly touched. The printed quality for the UK version is very poor.
i'm not sure if I have read some of these poems on instagram or facebook, but I don't think these are original or profund things to write. I'm a very emotional person, and going through a brake up recently and I thought this book would make me cry, but no.
so i saw a poem from this book on Instagram and I literally don't think it was in the book.. there was also a double and some misspellings in the finished book but I mean the poems weren't bad just a lot shorter that I expected with what I had seen.
Confessions of the Moon by Michael is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful poetic works I have encountered. Though the language is accessible and the book can be read quickly, its emotional resonance is profound.
Michael writes with a clarity that invites the reader inward, yet the verses carry layers of meaning that continue unfolding long after the page is turned.
The true beauty of this collection lies in its metaphorical depth. Each piece feels like an intimate moment held up to the light, revealing soft truths about longing, vulnerability and the quiet ways we search for connection.
Rather than following a rigid structure, the book flows freely - there are no page numbers and no prescribed order, mirroring the instinctive, nonlinear path of the human heart. This choice enhances the reading experience, allowing one to wander through the work as through an emotional landscape.
The author’s closing note is particularly striking. In directly addressing the reader, Michael offers a gesture of gratitude that feels both personal and sincere. It is a gentle acknowledgment of the shared space between poet and audience - a fitting and beautiful conclusion to a journey shaped by feeling rather than form.
Confessions of the Moon is more than poetry; it is an experience of connection, crafted with sensitivity and profound emotional intelligence.
With every poem, it felt like I was reading my own confessions. This book became a mirror—like my journal in poetry form, I’ve never felt so understood.🌙✨
Beautiful to see how this feeling is universal and I love how vulnerable the author made it to be .
