Guaranteed to Cut and Soothe is a book of poetry put together by Razors and Bandaids Poetry Guild. It is the music of the hearts and souls of its authors. The fact that it is guaranteed to cut and soothe is indicative of the kind of poetry therein. Some of the poems cause a soothing reaction in the reader while others cut deep and to the core. The book itself is designed to affirm the fact that life sometimes affords those who live experiences that soothe and make life worth living. Other times, life can be brutal as it ushers in experiences that try the hearts of mankind. The light and humorous poems were written with the intent to provide a time for laughter and pleasure while the cutting poems were written not to cut in the literal sense but to provide a cynical look at that side of life often void of pleasantry. The ultimate goal of the book is to provide entertainment for its readers.
