The Borderline Between Life and Poetry

by A.S. Minor

A collection of poems by spoken word competition-winner and novelist A. S. Minor. This book of poetry guides the reader through the chaotic emotional underworld of Borderline Personality Disorder, but more than that, it uses empathy and sympathy through written word to describe for others the same thing that we all deal with: What we call the human experience.

[A.S. Minor · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wrote this book in an attempt to show others that they are not alone. Despite us being social creatures, we, as people, can sometimes feel like we're alone with our own emotions. I wanted to show people that, for good or ill, you are not alone.

Wow...what honesty and insight this man has!

This book helped me understand the deep wounds present I others, and maybe, even see some of myself in them.

I'd give it a 4.25 stars, as there are some poems that just do not hit, but the poems that hit you hit you.

My only regret about this book is that it was too short. A masterpiece. It's hard to explain how much this book represent for me but I'll cherish it all my life. A must read for the tortured minds, their loved ones and everybody else for that matters.
Thanks A.S. Minor.

I would love to review this text, for the title itself is intriguing; however I have not received it since the giveaway winning notice. I replied to the radio button regarding this in the prior week. Review forthcoming . . .

Great poetry!

I loved the borderline expressions and connotations. It dug deep into my life as well. I was able to relate to several chapters. Great work!
