Poems & Stories of Connection and Otherwise

[Dis]Connected Volume 1

Liana

This collaborative work left me feeling oddly disconnected. While a handful of poems truly resonated with me and a couple of short stories had the potential to inspire entire novels, the rest fell flat.

Many pieces just didn’t land for me—either I couldn’t relate, or they didn’t spark any interest. To make matters worse, the book was riddled with grammatical errors, which only added to my frustration. I’ll admit, I was tempted to DNF, but its brevity and the fragmented format of poems and short stories convinced me to stick it out. Unfortunately, it didn’t pay off—I closed the book feeling deeply disappointed.
