Just My Thoughts and Ideas is a book of poems where the author, P.J. Victor, decides to open up and share with us his beliefs. As the title indicates, they are his thoughts and ideas of the day when he wrote each particular piece. His inspirations were in fact personal things he saw happening in his life or around him. They are an accumulation of poems he started writing at the age of seventeen. We never know when we shall be inspired. It may be through a casual conversation with friends, overhearing someone else's conversation, a personal experience, or that of someone close to you where the ideas are born. At times it's just a word, a sentence or an idea. For whatever reason it resonates with you, and you feel compelled to elaborate on the topic. What this Canadian author shows us in his first book is that not all men are scared to show a sensitive side of themselves. Being very sentimental in some of his writings, Victor shows a vulnerability most men shy away from. In this book he demonstrates that he is clearly in touch with his emotions. Through experiences of friends and relationships, P.J. Victor opens up to us on how he views things in his ideal world.
