The Ectopic Epiphany: Poems and Essays
This sophomore effort from poet Justin P Lambert includes both free verse and more structured forms, including a number of haiku. Each section includes an essay on various topics of interest to the average human. Read some reviewers' kind words:
"This collection of poems does a remarkable job of exploring the nature of humanity, reality, the power of thought and mindset. I enjoyed the journey taken with the author through his heartfelt expressions. You get to develop a sense of what the author values and cherishes and has concern over. This is mature rumination and introspection !!"
"It’s like a quaint cabin in the woods, familiar but still new. I enjoyed the essays at the beginning of the 5 sections, they gave his thought process on why he wrote these poems. The poems are both free verse and rhyming. Not filled with lots of melodramatic metaphors, what is laid out in verse is easily understood.
Definitely worth reading!"
"Honest writing is the charm that makes this a delightful collection. Despite almost becoming preachy during the creation section of the collection, reading a poem about holding hands with his wife in bed shows the power of personality on writing. Certainly worth your time to read."

This was my second self-published collection, and it's much more poem-heavy than Sanity Is Boring. I think my poetic ability matured significantly and the book shows a lot more experimentation as well. I also like the brief essays that introduce each section.
