Vashti Stopher Klein draws from her own life experiences to present a mesmerizing poetry collection readers are bound to love. The Umbrella Fixer features poems that take you on a personal journey of love and self-discovery, primarily focusing on the ups and downs of relationships. The book opens with the titular poem "The Umbrella Fixer," where the narrator wishes for someone to come and fix the wrongs in their life. "Opera" illustrates our overwhelming desire to connect with someone on a deeper level and be loved. The narrator expresses regret over being in love with the idea of a man rather than the man himself in "Quintessence of You." "Ode to Harley" is a celebration of a parent's love for their child. "Smile, Hope, and Patience" recounts the narrator's battle with grief and self-doubt.
The Umbrella Fixer is a heartfelt poetry collection that touches upon various facets of love and relationships. Rich in themes and emotionally poignant, these poems touch the very core of your soul. Vashti Stopher Klein's captivating verses paint a poetic tapestry of a life full of highs, lows, and everything in between. Each poem focuses on a different phase of the author's life, while staying true to the broader narrative themes. Klein's verses are evocative and powerful, complemented by a distinctive poetic flair that is both fresh and personable. While these poems are inspired by the author's own experiences, the core emotions and feelings they convey are universal and will resonate with a wide range of readers. Klein's poetry is simply beautiful. If you're a poetry lover, I can't recommend this collection highly enough!
