Thank you @bookpublicityservices for this copy!
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of poetry.
🎭🎭🎭🎭
The title ,Surviving Home really piqued my interest. Unfortunately for some, it’s home that people have to survive and not the world itself.
🏠🏠🏠🏠
In this collection, the author wrote about uncomfortable but much needed topics through poetry. I could feel the pain in the author’s writings. There were times when I just had to sit and think, “what did she mean by that?” or “Wow that’s heartbreaking.”
🏠🏠🏠🏠
The author was able to create beautiful poetry through painful topics such as domestic violence, rape, substance abuse,generational trauma, ,homelessness,unhealthy family dynamics police brutality,slavery and racism w/ metaphors that forced you to think even deeper about issues she experienced.
This collection of poetry is pertinent today and would make for a great discussion in both an educational setting or bookclub setting.
📖📖📖
The poetry engaged me as a reader/interpreter. I enjoyed the authors use of metaphors the most. I had to read the poems more than once to try to understand the meanings of some poems and some I’m still not clear. I would like to ask the author myself. 😅 But Ill settle for a discussion with a book friend bc I would love to discuss to see another’s viewpoint. These topics are heavy but I love dissecting another persons mind.

I really enjoy poetry because it forces you to think deep and attempt to interpret what the poet is conveying through poetry.
I highlighted and marked poems that really stuck to me.
