Following Diana’s journey through her
teenage years among the turbulence of emotions and key milestones in
life, Sensing perfectly captures the writer’s openness to life and
honesty. “An Ocean of Endless Wonder” from the collection may seem like a
simple poem at first glance but it contains deeper currents that will awaken
life in the heart of the reader. The imagery is exceptionally written and the
author’s use of metaphor enriches the selection. For instance: “The darkness of
the sandy floor / And deepness of the wave troughs / Frighten me with their
mystery –/ Do I dare to venture into the unknown?”
The feelings of loss and love we feel
throughout our youth are beautifully encapsulated in this collection of poems
by Diana Haemer. She takes us on a personal journey through her youth, dealing
with the pressures of being an ice skater and overcoming difficulties to become
a confident young woman. The poems feature a wide collection of themes that are
intelligently written, including family, prom, college acceptance, nature,
growing up, and more. It is interesting to notice how the poet brings beauty
through her diction in experiences that are common.
With easy-to-read language and hidden depth
and meaning, Sensing by Diana Haemer will draw you close and motivate
you to look into your own life’s journey and wonder at the workings of the
universe. Coming-of-age poems that deal with topics like solitude, sadness, and
love are perfect for teenagers and young adults. Sensing is an exquisite
collection of poems with a lens on youthfulness that is existential, gripping,
and explorative. Readers will love the poems for their clarity, intimacy, and
warmth.
