This collection of poetry is one that anyone with a heart would relate to. Its vulnerability is gripping. The poet takes us on an intense journey through his psyche as he explores the subjects of love, loss, and grief. At each turn of the page, one can feel the honesty of each word and the heart it carries. There's no pretense in the expression of the motif of this collection. The language, poignant and rich, with metaphors that hit home in their directness, makes this collection a masterpiece. Poetry isn't just cathartic for the poet; it's also a mirror that helps the reader use reliability as a means to find hope and healing. For me as a reader, this is what I found at the end of this book. And I think every reader would too. "Affection and Other Accidents" is that powerful!
