I've been meaning to write this for ages but I feel like I'm bad at reviews so just be warned that my lack of review skills don't reflect on the quality of his book :)

If you've somehow found your way here without knowing about the Accidental Vocal Icon, here is his Vocal account: Paul Stewart.

And if, for some reason, you haven't bought his book yet, here it is: The Accidental Poet, and here is his Vocal story introducing it.

Being a lollie addict, I like to think of the poetry collection as a bag of party mix. You never know what you'll get next, a sad poem, a happy poem, a fun/ humerous poem or a serious poem. It's like Russian Roulette, except you don't know if the bullet will be made of confetti or melancholy and so on.

Since I don't know how to do a normal review, I'm just going to be sharing my favourite poems and the link to the poem on Vocal.

(Feel free to skip over everything I say and just go straight to buying his book/ checking out his account!)

My Favourites:

  1. How to Forgive Yourself - Recipe - Serves 1 [This is one of my absolute favourites of his and I promise I'm not just biased because he entered it in one of my unoffical Vocal Challenges (and won). I was so excited to see it in the book. No amount of rereads are enough for me.]
  2. I Want You to Know [This is also one of my favourites of all time. He posted this on Vocal right when I needed it and I can't explain how important it is to me.]
  3. How to be kind to yourself
  4. Even Numbers Always
  5. To Whoever It May Concern
  6. Use the Fear
  7. Evening Reflections
  8. when did you last see the sea?
  9. Do you write and bleed?
  10. Waking Up

Important:

Posting a review on Amazon is really helpful and appreciated too, so please remember to write one after you read the book :)
