The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace is (I think) the first poetry collection I’ve ever read, and I absolutely loved it! 

I was hooked from the first poem I read this collection. The author eloquently tackles challenging themes with beautiful language. She uses a lot of metaphors, with the concept of being a “Princess” being a reoccurring theme. I think it is evident that a lot of care went into creating these poems. 

From reading other reviews, I gathered that Lovelace’s style of writing is polarizing, as it is a non-traditional poetry style. I’m not that familiar with this art form, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I can absolutely say that I loved the author’s writing style. I found it to be very unique, and the poems to be expertly written.

I can’t wait to check out Amanda Lovelace’s other collections, and I’m excited to keep reading more poetry in general!

Feels very Instagram poet. Some parts of this did speak to me and I can tell the poet truly grapples and I offer my condolences but it felt preachy
