“You, Me, The Sun, and
the Stars”
Written by G.P. Loehr
Review written by
Diana Iozzia
“You, Me, The Sun, and the Stars” is
a poetry collection, with many poems centering around love, heartbreak, and
faith. This book grants a cute, Southern American charm, if that was intended
or not. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, through the perspective of the author.
Loehr speaks of many emotions in a very natural and believable way. The reader
can imagine the emotional experience he has been through and sympathize,
relating in their own ways to their own loves. For instance, I related to quite
a few of his poems surrounding long-distance love, because I myself am in a long-distance
engagement. I felt very at peace reading Loehr’s books. I can imagine reading
this on a nice, wooden porch with a glass of something cold and sweet.
To continue, I enjoyed that many of
Loehr’s poems have similar themes. Certain colors, days, times, and themes of
nature are present throughout the book. The most noticeable recurring theme is
the one of nature: the sun, the moon, the stars, the universe, day, night. I
understand why he has titled the book after these. I often enjoy a theme in a
poetry book’s organization. They feel more cohesive and as if you are
experiencing the journey with the poet.
I enjoyed many poems of his. I would
like to share the titles with you:
“Tomorrow, We’ll Be
Together” “These
Summer Nights”
“The Foxtrot” “A
Dream That You Inspired”
“Sunburst” “Shooting
Stars”
“Atlas” “Lullabies”
“Cycles” “The
Summer Rains”
“Foxtrot” was my absolute favorite.
