Poetry Review

Emotions: Love Made Courageous
by Milena Gomez
ISBN-10: 074141404X
Review by Heather Froeschl

"Emotions: Love Made Courageous," is a poetry book that touches deep the heart of the reader. It is our emotions that make us human, give our souls the lessons we need in life. Milena Gomez Alvarez has taken raw emotion and woven it into words of understanding.

Poetry is a language that speaks to everyone, if only they give it a chance. And what better topic to offer than that of emotion? Alvarez explores what love, the greatest human emotion, does to the heart and soul and shares her thoughts with the reader.

Her style is freeing and her grasp on rhythm and rhyme is well demonstrated. That she puts her own emotions into her writing is obvious and endearing. Here, an author offers up her self through her words and one cannot help but be moved. Expression of feelings is what this book is all about and, clearly, Alvarez has accomplished this. Life is, indeed, expressed in her prose.
