This book of poetry was a quick read, and I found a few of the works to be well thought out. Overall, I wasn't able to connect with it. The title and blurb of the collection communicate a lofty topic to cover, but I don't think the poems explored those ideas deep enough.

There are a lot of truths in this poetry book, with a heart to the oppressed and forgotten (some poems more than others). I also enjoyed the timelessness of many of the poems. I look forward to reading more from this poet.

As I was looking for poetry books on Netgalley to review, “God, does humanity exist?” popped up and the title immediately intrigued me.
So thankful I got to read this poetry book. This is one I know I’ll have to buy a physical copy of because I know I’ll want to reread it. This short, touching, important poetry book reminded me how much each of us are an important part to the world, how much we have to value everyone around us and earth itself, because earth is part of our lives. Humanity needs to do better and this poetry collection really reminds the reader to value who you are, what you can do, and what really matters. so many of the poems touched me and made me think. Loved it.

Disclaimer - I received a free digital download of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The title of the book did make me curious about what the book held within - the question of which was answered in the introduction by the author. He states that “The title of this book is meant to make us think, because whilst I assert the existence of an intangible, incomprehensible, and inexplicable God, I question the existence of humanity.” which I think is an incredibly interesting assertion and one I hadn’t thought about very much.

To say humanity is missing would be an understatement when keeping up to date with world news and current events. But I’d never really thought about the lack of humanity before and I think that is one of the aims of the author. Every body sees this lack of humanity, but how many of us actually question it?

The introduction has made me all the more interested to read the verse contained inside and after reading through the book, I can say I wasn’t disappointed. I really enjoyed all of the prose and I’m interested to read what else the author has written. I think this is a must read, it touches on some taboo topics and sheds light on things I believe the mass majority need to hear and contemplate.
