A Million Revolutions is an eclectic collection of poems by Greg Masters that brings readers some mesmerizing poetry touching upon various themes related to contemporary life. "A Million Revolutions" is a critique of the American political system, where power and wealth maintain the status quo. In "Should I Tell Her," the narrator consoles a young woman suffering from heartache. A sixth grader gets in trouble with the school authorities and his mother in "Ballad of the Fallen." "Everything But You" is an ode to a loved one. The narrator goes down memory lane and thinks back fondly about a childhood classmate, wondering what could have been in "If You're Out There." In "Now That I'm Aware," the narrator shares their opinions on Anna Taylor-Joy, Robert Eggers' movies, and the enhancement of Hollywood.

Using free verse, Greg Masters delivers a captivating collection. Masters' poetic storytelling is simply top-notch, drawing the reader into these immersive narratives that demonstrate the observations of a skilled narrator. The collection features poems that are thematically rich and emotionally resonant. Masters covers a variety of topics through these poems, including art, music, movies, politics, life, and more. A Million Revolutions will appeal to poetry lovers of all kinds. The poems differ in rhythmic structure and rhyme yet share common ground through the distinct poetic voice and flair that readers are bound to love. Some of these verses will continue to linger in your mind long after you've put the book down. On the whole, this collection is tinged with nostalgia and a few poignant truths about human nature and life. Highly recommended!
