People Everyday and Other Poems
by Daniel Crocker
Poems about life and death.
“People Everyday and Other Poems” by Daniel Crocker is a touching collection of poems about a tortured soul. The heart of these poems centers around the mind of a 19-year-old boy. The poems content varies from drunk driving, dating, death, suicide and masturbation. The interior is very emotional and dark. There is a major turning point in the book’s title poem in which the speaker confesses emotions surrounding the death of his brother.
The poems are vivid and you feel as if you could be the speaker. These coming of age stories are darker than most. All the poems contain a sensual darkness that is striking on the page. Each word will make readers long for the next, and when the book is done readers will beg for the next. Crocker’s incredible use of language and poignant subject matter gives an entirely new and wondrous insight into life experiences and growing up. I recommend this collection as a must read for anyone who’s ever lost someone they love.
