REVIEW: In “Map of a Distorted Mind” by Joseph R. McNulty it tells us of a man expressing the grief of lost love. It talks about the day he fell in love with her and the day she died. I felt every emotion this man felt in every poem in this book. Mr. McNulty showed the world exactly how he felt. I applaud him in being so open honest.
Every poem had a flow and consistency to it. At parts, I thought it would make a great song because the way the words formed so well. I must admit my personal favorite is “The Great Sardine Ride” where he moves to be closer to the one he loves. I have done that, and know firsthand how the pull of love will make you do anything. Those of us that love poetry that comes straight from the heart will love this poetry tome.
