Arc of the Poet written by the author Roger Darnell is a poetic memoir. The book begins with the author’s upbringing. He was exposed to poetry early in life as his mother used to write poems. By the age of thirteen, Roger started having ideas about personal values, poetry, writing, etc. Below lines from the poem “Brother” shows Roger’s connection with his brother Scott. It feels good to know that your sibling is there for you no matter how much we fight with each other:
we have somehow fallen short.
Yet, we gather our support
from the confidence we share
simply knowing otherโs there.
When Roger was tracing his career path, he was supported and encouraged by his mother, Beth’s mom, step-dad, etc. Very few people get the support of their partner and their family. Roger’s confidence and self-respect was built from the great support he received.
This book teaches us perseverance, being strong, determined, etc in life. It was interesting to know that Roger worked hard and in the summer of 1993, he became a home-owner, husband of his sweetheart Beth Darnell. The writing style of the author is amazing and I appreciate the various life experiences the author has shared in this poetic memoir. The narration is smooth and I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. This book opens our eyes to the struggles artists face. I had a great time reading Roger’s journey.
Those who love reading poetic memoirs should get their hands on this book for sure.
