Any ordinary moment can become extraordinary through poetry, but you have to find the right words to express yourself properly, harmoniously, and agreeably. In Life and More, these everyday situations are shown with amazing perspective, sometimes with nostalgia and other times with humor, and at times even with mysticism. Ann Woodley tells us about a wide variety of topics, including new places, new ideas, and Spring, but also about everyday reality such as trying to start a diet, being with family, or struggling with feelings involving a situation. Many of the poems are like little stories in themselves, others are like wanderings, but all the pages have Ann Woodley’s heart in her words.
It was great to read a variety of themes covered by the poems, especially as I can empathize with them because they are part of Ann Woodley's experiences. Not only is the realism felt, but at the same time, they are very entertaining and original. Life and More is very creative in a way that makes me want to write poetry to express myself in the same way. The composition is very good, with practical expressions. The narration is excellent. I loved the perspective of seeing things in a different manner and how poetry can be inspired by any subject, because with this way of thinking anyone can overcome many situations and appreciate life more. Both readers new to the world of poetry, and the experienced will enjoy the words of Life and More.
