Broken heart can cut like a knife, tear up your world and torture your body and mind as you drift between two realities. The old one you know, love and miss every minute of your life, and the new one in which you feel lost, abandoned and cannot accept it as your new life order.
Mitchell Bogatz wrote his poetry book titled Without An Angel during the hardest year of his young life, when he fell in love with an unavailable woman. His raw and beautiful poetry, devoid of any pathos, is filled with unrestrained lust and almost desperate yearning to be loved, cherished, needed and appreciated.
While going through his short, vivid poems and experiencing his emotional and somehow so familiar verses, we drink straight from the fountain of the author's personal, intimate life. We are reminded of our own passions, of our own struggle to get back on our feet and SURVIVE on the ruins of forbidden love, of our own longing to quit, just let go, disappear and be forgotten: Sometimes I wonder if I’d be happier on a beach somewhere, nothing in my pockets, with no one waiting for me to come home.
If you like poetry, it would be a shame to miss this powerful and honest collection of poems. Even if you are not too big a fan of the verse, do yourself a favor and spend some time with Bogatz's writing. His suffering and pain might surprise you with hope and strength it gives you when you are faced with going through life without your angel, or, even better, encourage you to swing your wings to go out and find it.

I'm sorry to say that this was lack-luster for me. A lot of the same sort of sayings that we all hear a little too often and I just couldn't get into it. I had some hope for this, but in the end this poetry book was not at all for me.

I read Tiny Instruments a long time ago. I'll admit I don't normally read poetry but this book... WOW. If you're thinking of reading this, you should know that the poems are pretty densely packed with meaning. I think most people who didn't like this didn't like it because it's very different from his sci-fi book. That's true but in my opinion, definitely worth a read. Hoping for more from Mitchell Bogatz soon.

This book is nonfiction poetry. I really thought it was emotional and even though I don't like poems I feel like this one had a lot to say. It talks about the reflection of being raped and the outcome of loving someone who does not love you back. This also expresses her feeling of being "trapped in love" which is honestly a lot people can relate to. Also it's a love letter to a stripper which I find quite interesting because many people don't really tend to care for them?
