To Be Me is Michael James Kaiser's debut poetry book, released in June of 2015. The book features Michael's poetic creations that are of course drawn from his personal experiences and hence the title chosen for the book seems a perfect fit.
Doodles on napkins can in turn morph into poetic masterpieces and I think that is the case with Michael's creations.
Each poem in the book is beautifully crafted and has just the right amount of emotion to tug at your heartstrings without being overwhelming.
Whatever poem you read you will find yourself drawn in, whether it'd be by its emotion or by the story it tells that will connect with you in some way.

The flow of some of the pieces in the book is melodic and will probably make you want to take out your acoustic guitar or maybe a piano or keyboard and sing and play. And even if you don't play these instruments you may still be tempted to sing the words.
Perhaps these melodic pieces are actual future hits. Perhaps we will come across videos on YouTube of someone playing the guitar, singing Michael's poems. Maybe it will even be Michael himself. You never know.
If you want to peek inside the book and perhaps even purchase a copy you can find the book right here: To Be Me on Amazon.
Since I helped Michael publish the book I got to read all the poetry featured inside. I was quite impressed. Michael is one talented poet. I love poetry that's emotional and has substance. His pieces were just that. I very much enjoyed the read and would recommend this book to others.
ReplyDeleteIf you're like me and love to sing you will probably find yourself singing some poems instead of reading them as some pieces are of a musical nature. I have a feeling they will be turned into songs. They are certainly worthy of that.
