In My Head

I'm a huge fan. I've read this book of poems all the way through 5-6 times and each time I read it I use a different color of pen to highlight and underline my favorite lines. He's beautifully gifted and I absolutely love how these poems speak so many of my thoughts.

This is an amazing collection of poetry. It's been a long time since I've read anything that spoke to me as much as this book does. I first ran across JM Storm's work online, where he has shared his work on Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram. It was there that I learned there was a book of his collected works.I have to say I tend to prefer my books online, but because this was only on paper I went ahead and purchased it anyway. I think mostly because I'd read and loved so much of his work online that I felt I owed him money! Much to my surprise, I got so much more out of each poem when reading them on paper. Something about having each one stand alone, on a white page, made me absorb the words without distraction. I think because we tend to skim so much content on our electronic devices that reading the words on paper helped me fully appreciate how the author distills complicated human emotion into a few lines of text.I love this book. Each new poem I read I would think to myself, "who the heck is this guy?" How does he know what we've all experienced and express it so succinctly? He touches on everything from self-acceptance, to human connections, to perseverance. And love...how to find it (when you begin to love/accept yourself, it will find you), and how to let go of it ("learning to let go of the ones we love with nothing but love").As I was reading this, I started to dog-ear the pages with poems that really spoke to me, but I realized about half-way through that the system was flawed...there are too many favorites. And, yes, I am someone who bends the pages and generally lives in a book I love until I wring everything out it. This book has so much to absorb that I think it's going to require several run-throughs.So, I am now officially a fan of JM Storm, as witnessed by this, the longest review of my life. I've turned into one of the many people who follow him on all the platforms, waiting to see what he's going to post next. I understand he's working on a second book (I know this from the aforementioned online stalking), and I will most definitely be one of the first people purchasing it (the paper version, of course).

Love this book of poems

J.M. Storm's writing style in my mind, can be experienced and felt as indescribable art -- one which pierces our soul and lives in the heart. I first discovered Storm's work randomly as I stumbled on his writing via Instagram. I read a few of his poems online and was hooked. His poetry demands strong emotion and with such precision in Storm's choice of words, he has an uncanny ability to convey abstract truths about the universal human condition in a way we all wish we could but can't. No matter what one's culture of origin, age, or life experience -- undoubtedly a person is deeply touched and moved by such things as birth, growth, hope, aspiration, courage.... but mostly we are touched by Love. One Real Love. He describes the power and transformation that is felt through divine love and leaves the reader wanting more. Although I would describe Mr. Storm as a modern poet, his poetry describes a modern love in a way that has been lost in today's generation. A deeply rooted love that stems from human spirit and ecstasy within. And perhaps it's true for some as the saying goes that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" but I would beg to differ. Every Woman... every Man....every Human needs a Love so true that will stay with them on the good days and on the days that feel like the depths of hell. He is indeed a modern day poet with an old-fashioned soul. He is one to be recognized as brilliant and masterful in his work -- and though we may not know him, we have a glimpse of learning and being further illuminated by him, as we experience the essence by being In His Head. I will follow this author all the way through. An amazingly raw and beautiful book of prose for anybody who enjoys poetry and literature as a form of enjoyment or escape from the ordinary.

I love most of his poems and have followed him for awhile. The thing I don't like too much about this is how he decided to display the poems. There is only one short poem per page so even though the book has several pages you aren't getting that many in it. Also, it is a pain to have to flip the pages so often when trying to read and relax. Maybe they can come out with one big book that combines these smaller versions in the future.On the Amazon side of things, shipping was fast and the condition of the book was great! Thank you!

This is another book that should be on the best sellers list if it isn't already. Its author is great and highlights a lot of things that have happened in my life without even knowing who I am. I've cried I've laughed and then it reminded it me that I am a powerful being not only as a woman but as a person. So I recommend this book to anybody who needs a little bit of healing or a little reminder of who they are. 5 stars

If you currently follow JM Storm on Instagram and truly enjoy reading his posts, you will love this collection. He speaks of help and healing, of moving on and letting go, of falling in love and loving yourself.Piece from book:if you're going to kiss her,then pull her close and mean it.kiss her as the moon does the sea.weightless and yet the deepestparts of her are moved.JM Storm typically writes pieces around this length, so if you order this book and don't realize what you're getting when you order, don't blame the writer. I personally enjoy longer pieces, but this was still a beautiful book of prose that was both comforting and uplifting.This book contains JM Storm's heart that just ebbs off his words like little butterflies. A soft and gentle caress.Piece from book:maybe that's all we need.to know that someonethinks we're worth thebad times. to know we'reset apart from the others.to feel a hand reachingfor us in the dark.

An incredible read of poetry. Love this authors work.

Bought this for my daughter, but read it before I gave it to her ... don't judge!Great read and really thought provoking work. Perfect for the impatient generation.This will move you.

Really this book is everything. These words are so powerful, well written, beautiful and I LOVE reading them so much !
