At one point or another in all of our lives we have experienced love. Whether that be a love for a family member or significant other, a love for a beloved pet or favorite film, or even something as simple as a love for a special meal prepared by a parent, love has entered our lives at one point or another. Yet as time teaches us, there are very different levels to love, some healthier than others. Life experiences often lead to us learning this lesson in crucial moments which will carry over into our lives forever.
In author and poet Raekwon Williams’s The Variations of Strong Love and the Motivation That Drives You To Keep Going, the author explores the very different kinds of love we all experience and what drives us into these wellsprings of emotion. From the incredible highs which come from experiencing that love, to the problems and issues that could come up from such a strong burst of emotion, to the fixes that we can make and how believing in ourselves and what we are in love with can overcome the odds, this book offers creative and emotional engagements with the reader at every turn.
A short yet powerful read, author Raekwon Williams has mastered the art of storytelling through short-form poetry. The chord which really stuck with me that the author hit on in this collection of poetry was the hope and self-love we all should practice within our lives. Far too often we are concerned with others and their lives, that we forget to love ourselves and take the time to care for ourselves, for only by doing so can we offer our love to others. The imagery and tone the author pours into this style of writing really is moving and engaging, capturing the reader’s attention immediately.
This is the perfect read for those who enjoy poetry and motivational thoughts, especially those who are attuned with their emotions and enjoy a healthy balance of romanticism and inspiration. As a fan of this genre of book, I thoroughly enjoyed the passion and creativity the author poured into this read, and found myself moved by the authors words.
A memorable, heartfelt, and engaging book of poetry and motivation, author Raekwon Williams’s The Variations of Strong Love and the Motivation That Drives You To Keep Going is a must-read collection. The emotional way the author conveys their experiences and the thought-provoking messages invokes through their words made this such an enjoyable read.
