emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

A beautiful poetry book where the emotions and struggle comes out clearly on every page. The line drawings add to the book but still keep the focus on the words. Some of these are just so powerful I think I'll use them in collage art journals. These books must take so much strength from the author to write and publish.

Her poetry much like her drawings at first glance appear good until you look closer. I think she is good at conveying imagery and feelings. She has ideas and feelings she wants to share but the end product isn't actually thought out very well, I felt like everything was rushed and was not edited. She seems to struggle with using the word "cause" instead of "because."

I don't really experience this book if it's sufficient enough to be good poetry, but rather how it's a stream of emotional turmoil and inner healing coming from someone's mind. The beginning (the hurting) I think benefits the most from this style, as it's processing sexual abuse in a way I think is both sad and poignant. Jumbled thoughts, kinda cringe at later points (mainly during the loving/the breaking sections), but sincere in a way that I can't hate. I think it's surface level nice, don't think I truly liked it, for how simple the poems are to breeze through and understand the feelings of.

"your art
is not about how many people
like your work
your art
is about
if your heart likes your work
if your soul likes your work
it’s about how honest
you are with yourself"

Though really, if the author gets to write genuinely from within herself, regardless of if people fully accept her art, then who am I to judge?
