This was just bad. I didn't like any of the poems and felt as though this wasn't a collection of poems that had a real flow, but rather a collection of poems that were thrown together because there needed to be a minimum amount of poems in a book to get it published. I have read so many other good poetry collections that I feel robbed of my time reading this one.

"The Voice of My Mind" is a poetry collection. It's also one that I feel has more hits than misses. It just really wasn't the kind of poetry I was interested in.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

This collection transitions from shallow, sad poetry to trite Christian poetry. It reminds me of creative writing classes in middle school, down to the unnecessary commas and clumsy rhyming. I cannot recommend this book.

1/5 stars.

This was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it. thanks for letting me have an advance copy. I'm new to this author.

Poetry remains a form of personal language that might relate to some and not others. I found this poetry book well written but wasn't able to connect with it on a personal level.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Let's start with the cover. The colors works well together, and it definitely caught my eye.

I absolutely love poetry. And this book was great. I really enjoyed T.A. Fish's poems.

I'll definitely be looking out for other work by this author.

this collection of poetry couldn't keep my interest. I was quite bored and I did not like it at all. I was not a fan

This read was very much outside my comfort zone; I'm a somewhat committed agnostic, which is a bit of a contradiction of terms, but there you go. I can't say that this book opened my mind to spirituality or anything like that, but it was an interesting read, and it's unusual to read rhyming poetry these days. I'm not sure I'd read Fish's future work, but I don't regret reading this one.

A collection of poems that has prayers, psalm-like verse and rhyme. I don't usually read rhyming poetry and for that reason, I can't recommend this book. I was given a copy for my unbiased review..

These poems are timely, but the reader needs to be open to the author's religious point of view. The rhymes and vocabulary are simple, and the resulting lines sometimes become trite. The poet is at his best when dealing with dark themes.

i don't remember what this was about ugh

Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Thanks to the Publisher for giving me the opportunity to read it in advance

Beautiful written but was very repetitive and I lost interest in it rather fast. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book

Poetry is such a vulnerable and deeply personal thing to share with the world, so I struggle with this review because I want to be delicate with the work while also trying to be honest. That said, I did not enjoy this collection from a technical or artistic perspective. I found the verse to be simplistic in both rhyme (most of the poems are in a simple rhyme structure) and content. It appears to me the poems would have benefited from more vigorous feedback and editing.

Going into this I was not anticipating so much religion, this made it a very uncomfortable read for me. It wasn't my cup of tea. The poems were okay, but they didn't catch my attention.

I enjoyed this at first but it felt repetitive and I quickly lost interest :( However to an extent this has a lot of emotion!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book had some enjoyable aspects to it but unfortunately, for the most part, I couldn't get into it. I thought that some of it was repetitive, the rhythm of most poems made it feel like the poems weren't separate but one long poem, and it was all heavily religious-based, which there is nothing wrong with that but it just wasn't for me.

Poetry is a very personal and moving aspect of writing so I believe that others who would prefer to read more religious/God based poetry would enjoy this collection more than I did.

I couldn’t get into this collection of poetry and the only reason I finished it was because it was short. It’s not because it’s bad poetry (in fact far from it) but it was a too old fashioned and too religious for my liking.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a heartfelt message that resounded with feelings I’ve felt before and since reading this for the first time I have gone back and re-read certain poems that I noted meant a lot or that I felt I could relate to.
It was a message of heartbreak and happiness and everything that life brings.
10/10 would read another work by T.A. Fish and would recommend this to other poetry lovers!

TW: Religion.

This starts off okay, however the poems seem a bit jumbled and disjointed. They are incredibly disconnected from one another as well. Then we get near the end when it really just becomes "God is the answer to all, he will save us! We are nothing without him!" And I'm really not a fan of preachy poetry.
