Inner Sanctum - Poetic Justice (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798330443963)

The author has exquisitely composed a powerful narrative that takes the readers on a journey that is reflective, deep, and poetic in essence. The reference to colors and the stage of grief, and tying it all to poetry in an eccentric manner, is both profound and intricate. The way the first chapter touches on their personal exploitation of the essence of poetry is remarkable and true in their claim that, indeed, poetry is stories told from the heart. The way they shared candidly how poetry has been a refuge for them where they could freely express themselves is remarkable and takes the read- ers on a poetic journey through the life of the author. The chapter about color is as vibrant as the colors it discusses, and the effect of those colors on human nature is thought-provoking and inspirational alike. The scientific touch, along with their artis- tic flare, makes the impact ten-fold. Then, in the last part, they talked about Kubler-Ross's 5 Stages, which had deep ties to the author's life and are true representative of the various mental states they have been through, with some of them lasting momentarily while others serving as vital emotional states that enabled them to survive the harsh realities of this world. The pain of the author is reflected in each line, and the way it is all tied into the poetic journey of the author and soon-to-be of readers is a compelling exploration of the intricate interplay between poetry, color, and the stages of grief.
