Euphoric Wonderland by Ryan M. Becker – Review by Allyson Ware

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wanted so badly to enjoy this collection of poetry. I still find myself pointing out the good in it, even though I had my brows furrowed most of the way through. I truly feel like I was inside the mind of the author; the scattered masterpiece that it is.

The author is a fabulous writer. I just feel like the book could have had better flow to it. As I was reading it, I found myself wanting to put it in some sort of order. It went back and forth from dark, deep, and depressing to happy go lucky. Not only that, but the timeline felt out of order. There were also random notes to random people or groups within the work. I just feel that the author could have composed them in a way that flowed better so it made more sense as a whole.

Overall, the poetry was great when read separately and the author amazing. I also loved the background/pictures for each piece. It helped keep my attention throughout. I am not much for poetry, but I truly found myself enjoying each piece individually when not read as a cohesive collection.
