Poetry is a form of art. It has been said that good poems are those that are authentic and true to the author's voice. Great poems take the reader to different places and times. Great poetry captures moments, memories, and emotions, and makes us think beyond the words of the poems themselves. If these are truly the hallmarks of artistic excellence in poetry, then ACT,ONE a Poetry Collection by C.C. Cervantes Dunn, is a masterpiece. A snapshot in time, this collection is a reminder of what life is like when we're young and simultaneously a wake-up call of all the unique challenges the youth must face in today's world. Written with the rawness and authenticity-without-filter of youth, this collection of poetry will leave you thinking about the powerful words long after you finish the epitaph.
