Resilience: A Modern Masterpiece — A Must-Own for All Lovers of Poetry
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2025
Format: Paperback
There hasn’t been a poet since the late, great Jim Morrison who has been able to capture the raw emotion of pain, redemption, and resilience with such honesty and intensity. Resilience is an evocative and profoundly moving collection—each poem feels like it was pulled directly from the soul, layered with both vulnerability and strength.
Though I do not personally read French, the inclusion of the French translations adds an undeniable authenticity and beauty to the work. It elevates the collection into something universal, crossing cultural and linguistic boundaries while maintaining its deeply personal core.
This book does not merely dwell on hardship—it transforms it. From the whispered prayers of childhood to the triumphant cries of survival, the poetry in Resilience speaks to the indomitable spirit of humanity. The themes—friendship, love, loss, justice, hope, mortality—are rendered with such clarity that they become both intimate and universal, allowing every reader to find a reflection of themselves within its pages.
I proudly keep this remarkable book of poetry sandwiched between my William Blake anthology and Jim Morrison’s collected works, because it holds up to those masters in every way. It is daring, unflinching, and deeply soulful—a testament to the enduring power of words to heal, to empower, and to remind us of the resilience we all carry within.
Resilience is not just a book of poems. It is a companion in our darkest hours, a beacon of courage in times of doubt, and a celebration of the human spirit’s capacity to rise again and again. This is a book that should be owned by all lovers of the art of poetry, and I greatly look forward to purchasing everything this incredible author has yet to share with the world.
