Review: Pain before Love
Rating: 4 out of 5

After Volume 1, it was obvious that I would buy Volume 2. I didn't like it as much. The name of the chapters did not convey the themes of each poem in the chapters.It was a difficult read as his pain, his grief, his sadness and his lack of hope were felt before his love of Annie which is in complete contrast to volume 1.I still will give it a four. He did get his point across. I hope the author has found happiness and has let his first love go. He should continue with writing poems because he is indeed a poet.Most compilations of poems have a sense of  finality or accomplishment. What is it to these two volumes.
