challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

I love Nikita Gill's poetry and this collection was no exception. There are so many in this book which spoke to me on a different level. I thoroughly enjoyed the fairytale retellings which I will be adapting to tell my daughter once she is a little older.

There are a number of themes throughout the poems from surviving different situations, growing, healing, loving yourself. All things I needed to hear.

I read this as an ebook and plan on getting it as a physical copy and annotating it.

Poems of love, loss, grief, forgiveness, and self love. Gill builds entire worlds through metaphor leaving you truely feeling your emotions, reflecting on your life, and ultimately walking away feeling empowered.

Nikita Gill’s poetry never fails to move me. Her writing is incredibly powerful and the strong feminist themes are inspiring. I have loved all of her collections that I have read so far and am never disappointed.
