The Future (Button Poetry)

I had fallen out of love with poetry and Neil brought me back home with Our Numbered Days. This is the only book I have ever preordered that wasn't Harry Potter. Each poem is beautifully crafted yet raw (sometimes to the point of pain) and painstakingly earnest, almost to a fault, yet by the end of each you feel like you've made a new friend. The imagery is evocative and multilayered. I find a nuance each time I reread. Wall Drug destroyed me. Then the rest of the journey put me back together again. Can we always be friends?

Got this as a gift for my girlfriend (she loves poetry) she loved it and since she would not stop talking about it, I asked her to read me the poems as I drived around with her. I cam honestly say its a deep and meaningful read and helps you understand the mind of someone who suffers from depression and other mental dissorders. Totally recommend it.

If you've never seen Neil perform, you need to go check out his YouTube videos. He's amazing. He's so open and radically honest about everything he's gone through and felt, and he sets it to a cadence that resonates deep in your chest. You will be moved. Or you won't.

I love Neil's poetry. I never even thought about poetry before hearing some of the pieces from Our Numbered Days but after that I knew I needed to read every piece Neil had published. The Future did not disappoint either. I watched him perform some of the poems at his book release show and it's crazy the emotion he puts into each line. This book is for anyone who wants to smile, laugh, cry, scream, or just wants to read poetry. I love it

I kept telling myself I had to stop buying slim little volumes of poetry that I devoured in one day, and then this book came out and I continued to tell myself that. But then I couldn’t stand it anymore and bought it. Neil Hilborn’s poems are emotionally moving, heart tugging , gut-wrenching, and worth every penny. If you’ve enjoyed watching him perform his work and are tired of entering his name in google search, just get the book. You’ll probably love it.

I wanted this for a while and finally got around to ordering it. I’ll need to buy another one because my dog tore mine to shreds but that’s okay! I loved it soo much

A wondrous ride from start to finish. An insight into a beautiful mind gifted with the ability to cause visions from words. Find the beauty in the darkness and embrace the light.

Amazing collection of poems

One of my favourite poetry books, I have read and re-read a number of times and have a few that stick out even when writing this review. A must-by if you have ever been interested in spoken word. Neil Hilborn tackles tough subjects with a wit and charm that isn't easy to come by. Having seen him perform a number of the works live, it was interesting to see how they would read and certainly nothing was lost between the two.

I’ve loved Neil since OCD first made it’s long way round Facebook. I was instantly sucked in. Our numbered days really hit home and I had to get the future. I waited five months for it to be delivered to me in Scotland as I preordered it and it was so so worth the wait.

Another great book by Neil Holborn, a must read and must buy

Arrived on time and such great poems to read! Absolutely love Neil Hilborn.

Beautiful man, beautiful book, would recommend fully to anyone that likes to laugh and feel things you didn't know you could
