Exploring love, death, grief, life, and cats named Bob, Kenneth Thompson touches on these themes with a deft hand an affinity for rhyme. He offers insightful twists and turns in a manner of just a few lines that allows the reader to relate, sympathize, and reflect on their own personal experiences while enjoying satisfying wordplay and rhyme schemes. Scars and Stars takes the reader on a journey that will make them laugh, cry and, with any luck, make them see that universal experiences and subjective experiences overlap more than they diverge. Intermixed with raw emotion, Scars and Stars sprinkles light-hearted, comedic poems throughout its text only to bring them right back to gut-wrenchingly beautiful displays of human fragility. An unflinching look at what it means to endure the subjective experience without ever becoming banal, Kenneth describes what may seem like personal moments only for them to hit you as if you've experienced these forces yourself. You don't need to be a certain age or demographic to explore love, death, grief, life, or cats named Bob to enjoy Scars and Stars, nor do you need to be an avid reader of poetry. This is a poetry book for people that do not normally read poetry.
