On Dreams and Bright Stuff: Complete is an engaging and immersive poetry collection. Debra A.F. Seiz's poems are intimate and personal yet relatable because of the universal themes the author focuses on in this collection. The poems are captivating, with free-flowing and experimental structures that feel fresh and authentic. I really enjoyed them and found them to be emotionally evocative and thematically rich. While some of these poems tell riveting stories, others are more abstract. The book also contains a few poems from Debra's childhood toward the end which are fun and light-hearted, suitable for kids and their parents alike. These poems are also complemented by some entertaining artwork. Overall, this is a beautiful collection for poetry lovers. Highly recommended.
