In World By Design, Norb Aikin's third book of poetry, the question of whether we truly create our own world or are living in a world created for us is posed. Existence is a balance of multiple paradoxes yearning to be uncovered; what we do with them is really the only part we get to dictate, and even then it isn't always a matter of choice. Maybe this book itself is an existential crisis clouded in a mystery of words, but you won't know if it's life-changing or not unless you read it. Your results may vary.

My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Four Point Five Stars
The poems have the ability to place complex emotional truth into sharp, cutting lines.
The collection of poems deal with the doubts of existential crisis and there is no sugar coating as the poems mentioned the poet's life in an almost cruel clarity.
I enjoyed the line of - ‘the more you let go, the more you can keep’ and I specifically liked ‘A Kind.’
The collection of poems would be a lovely read for people who try to understand their own thoughts and feelings in an attempt to find the reasons for the chaos in the world around us.
