“The Collection” opens a window to the poet’s world of love, joy, sorrow and reflections of life. It lets us peep into her soul and we become a part of her journey. As she takes us along in her journey, we become aware of our experiences too, because somewhere down the line, a sense of relatability sets in. Through each poem, Becca Furze Thomas paints vivid scenes of life’s fleeting moments and eternal truths.
From a man at a bus stop who has just found out his son is dead and also, childhood memories of walks in gardens to elements of nature, the strains of music, everyday occurrences and finally the inevitability of death, the poet captures the essence of what it means to be human. After all, life is as much about the raw emotions as it is about their reflections.

I pre-orded this book and was very impressed that it arrived on the day of release.
If you are after light fluffy poetry than this is not the book for you. The author delves into the depths of the soul to explore feelings and scenarios not always comfortable. The poems are best read a few at a time to absorb the thought provoking imagery. Only reason I knocked off one star is because I would have found a contents page useful.😀

Excellent set of poems very beautifully written. There is a set of realism to all of the poems and I could relate with many of them. It brings back memories of when I was growing up and the times then. Some of the poems are heartfelt and emotional. I especially like the poems “Listen”, “The Wind” & “England”.

Upon reading the first few poems I knew immediately that my entire family would love it, and I was right. Such a beautify way to connect with something different for everyone. 

This is a beautiful collection. I know it’s only 56 pages but I still would like the eBook version. Thanks Becca.
