The poems in More Boding than Blood by Don Gutteridge are a breath of fresh air. This collection is filled with honest and relatable poems about life, love, loss, sorrow, childhood, and much more. These poems seem to come out of the most vulnerable and deepest part of the author, and they are spectacular. There are a couple of poems that leave you dumbstruck, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time, just stunned. The poems strike something inside me that makes me want to weep and reach out to lost loves, family and friends and hug them for as long as I can. The poems make you want to read more and grow with each. More Boding than Blood is a heart-wrenching collection of small but powerful poems.
