Balloons Filled With Water, is a reflective and engaging collection which captures equally, both the pleasant and unpleasant experiences of life and reflects them as a snapshot. Chisholm has cleverly avoided crafting each poem from a single mold. Every poem is surprisingly fresh as it tackles each subject in such a way that we, after reading Balloons Filled With Water, view ourselves and the world around us differently. This collection is made even more inviting as the author effectively blends information and imagination that makes the work accessible for the novice and entertaining for the more seasoned poetry reader.
