Does this even have something to do with star signs? Because the stuff written in the poems is oddly specific and hardly relatable. Miralles GD, O'Fallon JR, Talley NJ.

My favorite was probably the Virgo chapter, where it's suddenly all about being a feminist and having mommy issues, like it's somehow a universal experience for all Virgos to not get along with their mothers. Second, many of the poems are basically just the same thing written with different words. Obviously, a collection of poems would have the same or similar themes, but you can use the same theme for multiple poems without making them basically the same poem. Even throughout the sections of the different zodiac signs, I see what is essentially the same poem repeated over and over again. Again, this is just a personal preference, but I like collections of poems to have a set that, while sharing a similar theme, are different. Related, but not the same.

The other poetry collection I read from this author was just as bad, and I can see no learning of the art of poetry, no development.
