Review: Desolation and Epiphany - James W.A

Review: Desolation and Epiphany - James W.A - October 2023

Recently, I have been catching up with reading some ARCS and that included a couple of poetry/prose books and one of those was James W.A's book Desolation and Epiphany. This poetry collection was split into two parts - Desolation which is almost down in your dumps, the sad poems, the poems where life feels like it isn't worth living.  These are emotions that we often all feel at one point in our lives, these are the days when we are at our darkest, the moments where we feel that no one understands and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, a collection of who cares and what's the point. Desolation is like being the last slice of pizza left behind at a party—lonely, empty, and a little sad, with no one around to share the good vibes. The second half of the book is more positive and is titled Epiphany, this is where the author has decided to change his views from Negative Nancy to Positive Paula. This is where something changed and James W.A decided that life wasn't all dim and dark and that, to be honest, the sadness was just a little blip in the road of life and that with a bit of hope and positivity, life is worth living and that good things can come out of being positive and optimistic. Epiphany is like that *lightbulb moment*—when something suddenly clicks in your brain, and you see things in a whole new way, almost like the universe whispered to you a secret! If you’re looking for a great collection of poetry books told from a male's perspective then I recommend you to read Desolation and Epiphany as you won’t be disappointed.
