STARRED Book Review: 51 Poems

This collection is inviting, funny, touching, and has a unique power to move and connect. I cannot tell you how much I loved this book for its ability to reach into my heart. But I will try!
51 Poems makes me think of food courts, love, arrests, consumerism, secrets, innocence, forgiveness, childrearing, charity, religion, aging, memories, and justice. The poems carry tension in their beats, and the emotions feel real.
Taking a contemporary approach, Ballantyne's poetry emerges as a consoling, voice-driven collection. It illuminates everyday events with evocative images and snippets of interjecting thoughts, layered into a recognizable theme. The care gone into this collection is apparent in its arrangement and brevity.
Ballantyne is a poet to watch. 51 Poems is an impressive debut.
