This collection of poetry is beautiful and gripping and speaks volumes of truth that need to be told. I would recommend this for an older teen/young adult audience as some of the imagery can be graphic but I highly recommend reading this.

This was a fantastic, beautiful, wonderful compilation of poems. I read nearly all of these out loud–and they deserved to be. These poems are meant to be spoken, to be heard. Each poem gave me nonstop chills, and I wish I could share these with absolutely everyone. They need to be shared. I want to claim these poems, but I know they aren’t for me. But please, everyone, read them. Share them.

Elliott employs different styles of poetry, and it makes me wonder if it’s talent that Elliott has, or if hard work and probably multiple revisions have made her writing as successful as it is.

I can’t suggest reading this enough. It’s colorful, magical, and makes poetry more beautiful than it already is.
