Roses are red, violets are blue. Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me too.
I am not sure if my introduction makes sense but they just ran out of my mind and insisted to be written on this blog.
Contemporary poetry has a huge following in this modern era. Lang Leav, Michael Faudet, Rupi Kaur are a few to name international writers in the book category of prose and poetry. I read works from Lang Leav and Michael Faudet, but never Rupi Kaur, maybe one of these days I'll get to read my e-book copies of her book. Leav and Faudet's works are good.
There are few Filipino writers who also work on contemporary prose and poetry. I got to read some of them.
1. Maybe You'll Love Me When I'm Gone by Neil Jed Castro
This is the first book of Neil Jed Castro. I bought a copy from the Big Bad Wolf Manila 2020 in the ABS-CBN Publishing booth for a discounted price. It talks about the what-ifs when someone disappears in your life. I have my favorites and you can check them out in my review vlog about Maybe You'll Love Me When I'm Gone by Neil Jed Castro.
2. What If It's Too Late by Neil Jed Castro
My second book from Neil Jed Castro is What If It's Too Late? It is about love and regrets in life. I so love the covers of his books. I also made a review vlog of this book.
3. Shadowed Truths by Charlene Tinaza and Kim Derla
Shadowed Truths is an independently published prose and poetry book by Charlene and Kim. It presents the realities in life and mostly the harsh ones and how to accept and overcome them. Click here for a review vlog of this book.
4. The Last I'll Write About You by Dawn Lanuza
The Last Time I’ll Write About You is popular Filipino YA and romance writer Dawn Lanuza’s debut collection of poetry. Featuring beautiful, relatable poems about first love, this book is the perfect companion for anyone who has loved, lost and emerged anew.
I got an e-book copy from amazon.com. This collection of poems shows us the art of moving on from our first love, especially the unrequited and also the ones that did not last.
6. Before I Lose My Nerve (this is NOT about you) by Layla S. Tanjutco
If you’ve ever had your heart broken you would know that it takes courage to love again. Before I Lose My Nerve is a collection of poems about heartbreak, the journey to finding the courage to love again, and realizing the kind of love that one deserves.
I got this book for free from the author way, way back through amazon.com. Thank you, author! This book talks about moving on triumphantly from heartbreaks and people who let you down.
If you like other recommendations, I also wrote some prose and poetry books, they are available on Amazon Kindle except for Unspoken Words ni Olivia.
