This Book Needs A Title Volume 2 Theodore Ficklestein 9781514128428 Books

Poet extraordinaire Theodore Ficklestein has done it again – delivered a collection of poetry that demands its respective reader to “chuckle” and be thoroughly entertained. This Book Needs A Title: Volume 2 thrives because of its simplicity (see “Another One Word Poem”), sarcasm (“National Poetry Month” finds the author being antipoetic you might say), and its unique, absurd delivery (“No Miracles” is certainly not miraculous or merciful). This Book Needs A Title: Volume 2 is perfect reading material for any number of occasions.

Where does one start with standouts ?– There are so many! “10:32” is the tale of the disgruntled employee who is counting down the 28 minutes until clock out time. Ultimately, “I clock out and don’t have to worry about this place. Until tomorrow.” Classic. “Coaching Basketball” is an über-simplistic guide to the sport, featuring lots of repetition, notably six iterations of the word “bounce.” It keeps on going though. “Throw Up” is ‘basic’ (“I don’t feel so good. I feel. Uh. Queasy…”) while “A Biblical Message” is more ambitious, literally using the chapter/verse format. Of course, Ficklestein doesn’t just leave it at the format – his “Biblical Message” is a funny one.

Ficklestein even manages to poke fun at himself. “Give This Poem A Title” references his inability to name a book, let alone a poem within his book. “Reviewer’s Poem” similarly pokes fun with Ficklestein approaching it from the perspective of a ‘reviewer.’ Of course it is Ficklestein who’s authoring the poem so he just adds more fuel to the absurd fire that is This Book Needs a Title: Volume 2.

Whether it’s “Apology To Teachers,” “Being God,” or the rhyming in “Overzealous Loon” or “Religious Friends” (all the friends’ name rhyme with their respective religions), Theodore Ficklestein ensures that his second book is a trip. Is This Book Needs A Title: Volume 2 worth the read? While Ficklestein would have a clever answer suggesting why NOT read his book, honestly you should totally read it. If for nothing else, Ficklestein’s utter absurdity will put a smile on your face, even if you roll your eyes a time or two!

I was given this book for free in exchange for a fair an honest review.

This Book Needs A Title Volume 2 Theodore Ficklestein 9781514128428 Books Reviews

I had read and reviewed the first volume of “This Book Needs A Title” so, when I was offered a free copy to review this one I took author Ted Ficklestein up on it.

The poems in this book are short and witty. Some are inspiring, like “A Climb To A Mountain”, others are funny, like “Reading Up” (it is best read from the bottom) and others are profound, like “Changing The World”. Pick it up, page through it and pick the ones that appeal to you.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.

This is the second book of poetry I’ve read by Theodore Ficklestein. The first book was I Killed the Man Who Wrote This Book. I really enjoy his poetry. It’s different, witty, and funny. Sometimes it’s thought-provoking as in “Lesson from History.” It’s a great book to just open up and read a couple poems when you have a minute. This would be a good bathroom book!

I have a friend who says he doesn’t like poetry because you can’t understand it so I showed him this book and he said, “It’s not poetry, it doesn’t rhyme.” I tried to explain free-verse but he insisted poetry has to rhyme. At least he could understand the poems!

Here are a couple of my favorites

Lesson from History

I am no preacher.
Or historian.
Or anybody for the matter who has any credibility for telling others how to live their lives.
But if there is one thing we can learn from history.
From Buddha.
To Jesus.
To Martin Luther King Jr.
It’s that we should care for one another on aspects of life.
But we should remember we are all on the same team.
The human race. Too bad we don’t sell jerseys thought.
Maybe that would stop us from fighting one another.

Give This Poem a Title

Oh great.
First I can’t name a book.
Now I can’t name a poem in the book.
Pretty soon I will have a one word poem.

I definitely recommend This Book Needs a Title Volume 2 if you enjoy poetry that is a little different. I love this guy’s sense of humor!
