L.A Board’s biblical poetry debut is so masterfully structured that you might wonder what other stories he has cooking up in his vault. A storyteller at heart, Eden snapshots a moment in time when his earth was in a good place. Or when he didn’t believe in “happily ever afters,” as he illustrated in the poem, “Castle.” His fear of his insecurities crashing to obscurity takes own a whole new light in “Fear of Flying.” And the love of his life that he calls, “his garden,” is beautifully penned in the poem, “Seasons,” describing a time when he questioned if people and flowers could bloom. Overall, whether you’re reading his regrets in “Summers,” or dazed by his encounter with a crystal ball in “Known Strangers,” you’ll find that Eden is not only riddled with clues of his present day life, but also with the lessons of his past, teaching you wisdom with each sentence.
