I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction Paperback – June 16, 2018

This is the second collection of poetry and prose that this author has come out with and I can honestly say that he has outdone his first collection. I innately relate to a lot of what the author wrote in this. He said things I’ve felt, but could never put into words. In my opinion, this is best read at 3AM when you can’t sleep and your thoughts are keeping you up. That’s what I did, and it was musingly powerful. “Healing” is my favorite chapter of the four. All-inclusive, it was a great second collection and I’m glad I get to support this independent author.

Amazing. I could relate to every word that was in these poems. Before I even started the book I was hit in the face of reality in the quotes on the dedication page. Unreal. I'm glad they write this book, now I'm going to back track and read the first one. I'm sure I love it that same as I did this one. Probably inspired me to learn to love myself. To heal by myself to get better. Thank you, Juansen Dizon. Thank you.

A jewel of a book from a jewel of a man. Juansen Dizon writes a heartfelt, sometimes heart-wrenching series of poems and prose of the depressing sort. Some are love letters, some are pieces of a soul. Each is very intimate. The total effect is of having met someone in their own shoes, moving through life somewhere out there, and you get a window-glimpse into his life. It's a life I hope will continue to record itself in many future books.

I was thrilled to purchased Juansen Dizon's second book. And I truly looked forward to reading his thoughts again, he totally did not disappoint. He writes in a way you just connect to deeply. I feel his pain, his pleasure and all the emotions he is expressing. Just a beautiful read. :)

I opened the packaging of the envelope that it came in last night and instantly fell in love with the book. I read the first five pages so slowly and just sat here and felt so much. I can’t wait to keep reading because this is just too good.

Juansen's writing in this collection manages to have elegance and depth without losing it's natural flow or authenticity. Overall I find this collection quite though provoking and relatable. I recommend this collection as well as checking Juansen out on Tumblr & Instagram, he is an excellent writer with a unique perspective.

I just received my copy today, and I'm already in love with it. This poet is one of my favorites, his words always affect me. You should definitely read, you'll find something inside that feels like it was meant for you.

As someone who’s partner recently committed suicide, this book spoke to me and is very beautiful.
