A magazine editor and newspaper reporter in Miami, award-winning Cuban-American poet Albert del Toral becomes an emotional rollercoaster in his newest release, which manages to engulf the reader in everything from deeply personal home-life accounts to a taboo-tackling journey of sorts. The author has been getting published since the age of 13, when the Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans published a poem of his that had been named best in its class. Eleven years later, he's become an established journalist with releases in two languages, distribution spanning five continents and several awards to his credit. Having previously written for newspapers, magazines, blogs, press releases, websites, newsletters and poetry anthologies, this is the writer's first foray into book writing. For more information, check out his blog, The Albyville Chronicle, at http://albyville.blogspot.com.

Witty, Poignant, and a bit Angry,
By
This review is from: HOME SWEET HOME (Paperback)
Poetry is best divided into 2 categories: flowery and biting. This book definitely represents the latter. "Home Sweet Home" captures the heart of generation Z as it struggles to cope/rationalize/understand a society beyond its control. Whether railing away at Goverment or mourning the death of his Abuela, Del Toral's passion comes through. Comedic stops throughout keep the book even.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Poetry that speaks to the young and disillusioned,
By
This review is from: HOME SWEET HOME (Paperback)
From 9/11 to more personal topics such as alcoholism and divorce, this book spares nothing. Please note that if you're easilly offended, this isn't the book for you. But if you're willing to sit down and really think while reading insightful, intelligent, and hilarious poetry, this is the book for you. Albert del Toral's 96 page opus is a poetic tour de force that leaves no stone unturned, as he delves into subjects that we all can relate to.
