Book - The Gen-Y Poet Author - J. Valentine Publisher - Pblishing.com Maple Press Rating - ★★★★

Nicknamed the "Gentle Giant" by his friends at the tender age of 12, James now towers at six foot six and bears a rather uncanny resemblance to Big Foot.

Book Review: "The Gen-Y Poet" by J. Valentine is a collection of 28 poems covering thoughtful topics on the usual and unusual.

I appreciate the use of many poetic tools in the poems and the poet seems to stem out from his belief in a world capable of doing better.

The overall feel of the poems are positive, warming and some serve as a sign of warning. Take for ex…
