Martingly is very talented and his talent is demonstrated throughout this masterpiece. I really appreciated the vulnerability represented within the poems. At first, the poems made me uncomfortable, due to the fact that I was not willing to become vulnerable like he did. I was able to get over that and enjoy the message of each poem. Also, it was a great addition to include poems from other artists. I applaud him and everyone else who contributed! I have already reccommended this book to friends, especially since it's a quick and easy read.
