5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and Unexpected
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I love a book of poems that you can pick up and thumb through, finding something new and surprising each time. These poems are lovely glimpses into someone who is wise beyond his years. Will Bortz has an uncanny knack for putting words together. I am a sucker for unexpected descriptions, metaphors, similes (English teacher/word nerd!) and I find so many charming combinations here!The great thing about this poetry is you find yourself relating to him and wanting to read more. And reread. A poem you want to reread as soon as you’re done reading is usually a good one!I’d highly encourage anyone who appreciates genuine writing to check this one out.
5.0 out of 5 stars Rich with meaning and energy.
I loved Will’s other book, “Lately I’ve been drinking alone” (I wrote a review on that one too) and what’s awesome is that “Shards” is a totally different feel. It’s deeper in a very different sense, sometimes more romantic, sometimes richer in its emotive description. I also LOVED the pieces on nature. Which was a serendipitous experience, bringing it into the woods with me to read on the lake.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book
Shards is the beautiful & reflective journey of William Bortz. These poems feel like peace and a cup of warm, fragrant tea on a rainy afternoon. Will writes stunning pieces about love, loss, and healing with so many stand-out lines:“I lie my head/ on the bedrock of/ necessary change/ and become the strongest/ thing that has ever been/ so silent.”Highly recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality and depth.
Great quality paperback and reasonably priced! Will is creative with beautiful depth in his work. I am pleased to have Shards in my collection! Thank you, Will.
