Description
I'm of the opinion that in poetry there are no days too commonplace to capture. The most mundane has something of interest.
Each poem in this collection stands alone like an artifact for curiosity. The book is more like a museum displaying ordinary moments - and some not so ordinary - through images and lyric. They were written during the years 2016 through 2018. There are hybrids of haiku, senryu, other forms, and short to longer free-verse poems; all written in a contemporary style. Readers can enter any room at any time and start reading. A variety of poems to read--from the humorous, emotional, serious, reflective, to the profound with layers of meaning.

I haven't gotten a chance to read poetry in a while and truthfully this was a great way to dive back in. The movement and imagery in the author's poems really paint the perfect picture of ordinary life. I particularly enjoyed the lengthier pieces where the author let their emotions seep into the words. Definitely recommend whether you're into poetry or not!

A big thank you to Net Galley for providing me with an e-copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. "Ordinary Days: A Poetry Collection" by Obed Ladiny is a poetry collection, in which, because of the curious approach, the reader gets to experience the ordinary (and not so ordinary) things in life through poetry. There is a huge contrast in the book thanks to the intricate but at times rather simplistic writing style of the author, I liked the overall structure of the poetry collection as well as the concept. The longer poems tended to appeal to me more, as in them I could actually sense some emotions. All in all, a very nice read for poetry lovers.

Turning ordinary things into art. Recognizing the beauty that is sometimes hard to see. If this is something that you as a reader enjoys, then this is the poetry collection for you.
The haikus and senryus were particularly beautiful in this collection and I have not seen a lot of them in my poetry reading recently, so it was nice to see and appreciate them again.
Again this collection is all about ordinary days, thing that people do and pass by and never realize just what they are or could become.
A stunning example of what can happen when you slow down and see the world as an artist's palette.
