Thoughts of a Pure Mind by Calvin Bland is a collection of poems and thoughts concerned with modern societies and dealing with topics like the decline in education, spirituality, questioning things around us, not taking things for granted and so on. 
 The collection contains many interesting pieces such as "Blossom", "The Underdog", "Sadness", and "Detached." 
 Poems like "Black skin" and "Ghetto Greatness" resonate with strength and power. They are certainly amongst the highlights of this collection. 
 "Poetic Power" has some interesting alliteration that is pleasing to both the eyes and ears. The piece titled "Show Off" is a highly alliterative and ironic piece; it is nonetheless enjoyable. 
 The poem "Without My Spirit" is absolutely beautiful. So many things have to be together to be whole, especially a person with their spirit or soul. 
 Calvin Bland hopes that his readers would have or form "a pure mind" after reading his collection. I admit that there are some beliefs in this collection that I do not personally agree with but I will leave that bit for other readers to decide.
