It is often said that poetry is the language of the heart and soul of humanity. As James Gates Percival once said, “The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness.” In author and poet Patricia M. Robertson’s novel Lifting Waits: A Collection of Poetry, the author takes readers on an emotional journey through her own life.
In this collection of poems, readers will be treated to a journey of self-discovery as the author puts the good and bad emotions and experiences of her life into artistic poetry like no other. From the experiences with bad relationships to journeys exploring love, the author’s story turns into a beautiful tapestry of poems and emotions that will instantly draw the reader in and connect on an intimate level. Although a quick read, the book of poems is an immediate gut punch to the soul as readers delve into this collection. While the book does stray into spirituality, the language of the novel is strong and emotional enough to connect with readers on any level and draw them further into the author’s life.
This is a book for anyone who enjoys poetry, strong emotions, themes of spirituality and religion and the occult overall. As a poetry fan myself it was fascinating to see the author pour her heart out into these poems and to witness the life the poet led transcend off the pages itself. One poem in particular, titled “Searching,” had a great line that illustrates the emotion of the book. “I look for your smile in the maddening crowd; the look on your face fixed firmly on my mind. I sometimes ache for your touch, but I know you are not mine.” This is a perfect example of the author’s exploration of relationships and love in general, and the heartbreaking process of finding that right person for us all.
Overall this was a perfect collection of poetry that readers will not want to miss. Author and poet Patricia M. Robertson’s book Lifting Waits: A Collection of Poems, pierces the heart and fills the soul as they go on an emotional journey that reflects not only the author’s life, but easily mirrors many of our lives and the mission to experience it to the fullest, both the good and the bad.
