Euphoric Wonderland by Ryan M. Becker – Review by Darian Vester

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this book, I enjoy listening to poems more than I enjoy reading them and I also don’t listen to The Beetles or do psychedelics but I saved this for me to buy a physical copy later. I would actually go back to read some of these poems again. I felt the poems were different, yes some were about the same emotions but I didn’t feel like I was reading the same poem over and over again. Some I could connect with and I believe anyone also trying to find themselves will connect with them too. My favorites were the poems about music, not focusing on certain artists but used musical terms in them. Like in “Schumann or Human You Wish That We Knew Him” the author says:
“Composer, arranger, Sonata in B Major Scribbled eighths, translates, narrates a music quake that makes you wake.”
I also loved “LGBT Earth You and Me,” I love the message of being kind and to stop all the hate. The pages themselves are all different, some colorful, some dark and some with drawings. I believe the author to be from Michigan, I didn’t Google to confirm but the reading lead me to believe it; I’m from Michigan so automatically I just think that’s cool.
