I’m Not a Mannequin

R.B. O’Brien’s highly anticipated fifth collection of poetry comes with a fitting title, because there is nothing plastic or fake or synthetic about the art of being human. You’ll find no forced rhymes or antiquated strict forms here, just a simple beauty in the complex emotions of the unexpected–and sometimes expected–moments we live, one at a time and all at once.

From sensuality to love to romance to nature and death, O’Brien shows us our human spirit in verse: A world where poetry with soul exists. $0.99 on Kindle.
