L'animo Poesia - by - TrinityStellaParker

BEFORE READING

I do like the cover, but it could use some work. It would be better if it was brighter. Then it would pop out more! I absolutely love the way you made the titles of the books and chapters Italian. It really adds a unique touch! Though, I hope the inside isn't Italian as well because I'm not fluent, yet.

I love how you use a poem in your blurb for your poetry book! When you added the emotional touch to the synopsis when you were telling us what your poems are about, I couldn't help but be sucked in. Call me officially hooked!

Also, congrats on winning all those awards! Including CLN's own awards! This makes me even more excited to read it!

WHILE READING

Hii people
So, this does not have to be a chapter in the book. You could have put all of this in the blurb or in A/N's at the beginning or end of a chapter.

Covers
I like how you ask what covers the followers of your book like. But, I also noticed that the current cover is none of the covers given on this chapter. What is the point of this if you aren't going to use them?

Prologo

I LOVE IT!!! Your rhyming skills are impeccable and you can explain a book in so many words. Like, how? How do you do it? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS! One thing I did notice, though, is that most of the first letters of each line are capitalized, but some aren't. Be sure to change that because consistency is key in poetry! Now, on to the rest!

P.S. Respect to gobbledygooks;)

Uno

First of all, beautiful banner! Second of all, awesome poem! Third of all, LOVE the chosen vocabulary! Fourth of all, amazing rhyming! A fifth of all, you did not stay consistent with your rhymes. In the end, you completely stopped rhyming when you have been doing it for the whole poem. I know, it's okay to do, but it's also just very unsettling for the readers who expect consistency in poems.

Also, I love how you put the random facts from Google at the beginning and end of the chapter! It adds a nice touch!!

Due

Seriously, who made these banners 'cause I am OBSESSED with them!! Also, I totally agree with this one. It was beautifully stated! But, some of the ways you worded your sentences just didn't make sense to me, so you might want to work on that!

Tre

Wow. This was so heartwarming! I love your choice of words! It really was beautifully written! I am just so obsessed with your poems!! They are amazing! Especially when they're as relatable as this one!! On to number Quattro!

Quattro

The rhyming mistakes happen again in the 4th stanza of this one. You really need to work on consistency when it comes to rhyming. But, when you do rhyme, it is absolutely amazing! I felt like this poem was even more relatable than the one in Tre! I think we all have a friend who is exactly like that at one point in our lives! I know I have!

AFTER READING

Wow! This was just such an amazing experience! You made a few mistakes, but those are definitely redeemed with the vocabulary usage and the striking relatability of each and every one of your poems! But, I do recommend looking through your poems again and fixing the things I've mentioned above! I definitely plan to continue reading the anthology! How could I not when it's this good?
