Cuts On Me - a spoken word poetry collection that awakens the reader to the psychological, emotional, mental and physical battles many...may experience while traveling the rugged road of life, using her poetry as a poignant testimony to declare that even on the darkest and cloudiest of days, we can, with will, faith and resilience, survive And not just survive...but bloom into something virtuously beautiful.It is a book that characterizes a woman who refuses to turn a blind eye to the countless injustices and myths revolving in our society that often deter many people from becoming the best version of themselves they can possibly become.When it comes to speaking raw truth, it is quite easy to connect with Author Adrienne Ijioma's writing and poetry, as she does a superb job at relating to people and situations, touching on topics that are sensitive to mostly all adults...Through expressive, poignant and insightful views on the world, we learn how Author Adrienne Ijioma uses her experiences to become a discerning and wise mind in life rather than a victim, in many poems, offering good advice and guidance that can be helpful to others while simultaneously representing who she is and what she stands for.From a creative and technical perspective, we enjoy the flow of Ijioma's clean-cut simple rhymes, as they present her feelings and thoughts in a manner that is easily interpretable, considering poetry's eminent 'abstract' and 'subjective' reputation.This particular style and technique of writing uses every day, ordinary vernacular rather than complex, elaborate metaphors or allegories, reflecting a lecture-like elegance that aims to express as much as persuade.The intermittent bodies of prose scattered between organized sections of poems based on theme selection is an added advantage in reading this book Not only is it refreshing to read the detailed narration and well-written, diary-like mini sagas before diving into an emotive poetic experience, the passages also provide great depth and insight into the overall background of how and why some of the poems that make up this collection were originally born.Author Adrienne Ijioma's spirit is consistently transcendently elevated through her inspiring power-verses that humbly value her worth and represent her heart with virtue, resilience, respect, edification and love."Cuts On Me," a 5-star...book for women, but great enough for all.
