My Thoughts
I read this book because I love poems and I have written poems before. The Immigrant's Lament is about the author's life at various times. The great thing about this book is that there is a poem on each page so it makes it easier to read and to follow.
The author put his Table of Contents in the back of his book which I didn't care for since this is the first time I have seen it. There were a few errors but not many errors but nothing major that would take anything from this book.
I would definitely recommend this book to all poetry lovers.
