Beautiful collection of poems. Inspirational and magical. So many powerful topics that many can resonate with.

Truth is a series of poems by Ruben Huys all of which look at different truths of life. All original poems looking at how we can look at life.

However, these poems missed the mark for me and felt more like someone preaching about truth and how we can best engage in the world. While many may enjoy these poems, unfortunately they were not for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon for this ARC.

This was a nice collection of poems, but unfortunately I couldn't get hooked. I liked the different themes the author touched on, and one positive point was that they were all well organized: there wasn't a single time I wondered what two poems in a row had to do with each other.
However, I would have liked some of the poems to be a little longer, and for there to be fewer stylistic devices (anaphora in particular) as I felt they were a little forced at times. This is still a very good collection, and I especially liked the last few poems.

Author Ruben Huys has written a beautiful book of poetry that explores the messages of our hearts. With courage and definite action, he has composed poems that will touch each reader - from personal identities, routines, emotions, actions, freedoms, and much more. It is a progression from a "coming of age" point of view to adulthood. There are plenty of poems to choose from, and the range of topics was significant. I recommend this poetry book to all ages, but mostly to young adults. Five of five stars for me! Thank you to the publisher via NetGalley for this arc. I voluntarily read this book and all opinions are my own.
