« Le dehors est la seule réponse que j’ai trouvée au dedans »

Un magnifique recueil lu d’une traite, la gorge serrée, revivant ma dernière, et difficile, rupture.

doux. Un bonheur mélancolique.

Une poésie à la fois douce et violente, avec de fortes images qui résonnent longtemps après la lecture.

Unfortunately I think I’m just not a poetry girl. I’ve been looking for a breakup poetry book for 4.5 month and finally found one. It probably would’ve hit more while I my emotions where at their peak. Some poems I connected with, many I didn’t, some felt cringe

Short visceral punches of poetry. That’s what I like, that’s what moves me. Heating the Outdoors by Marie-Andree Gill does that in spades, opening the door to let the heat out in gusts. Exploring inner and outer landscapes and how the heart graphs on to the land, what we’re owed in relationships and by blood. An indigenous award-winning poet whose latest micropoems are entire shrunken worlds of emotion. What she can accomplish in so few words is just 👌🏽🙏🏽.

I loved the italicized poems that were shown about once per chapter, and many of the poems in the last chapter. The author is great with metaphor, and the descriptions are very unique! However, there were many of the shorter poems where I couldn’t understand the unique metaphors and descriptive words. I would love to read some more of this author’s longer poems!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher!
