"Tomorrow will be beautiful
For tomorrow comes out of the lake"
-Hope, Emanuel Carnevali
Tomorrow is Beautiful is a fantastic compilation of poems. It has, in fact, uplifted my spirits reading this, and has made me discover many, new, wonderful poets. Sarah Crossan's own poetry was wonderful in its own right - Notes from the Pit was the one I liked the most.
Here are some of my favourite poems from this collection:

This was a lovely collection, well compiled. I bookmarked a number of the entries which I think says it all. It's always hard to rate collections of various work because there isnt a consistency across the board - but my overall enjoyment of this felt like a 5 star read.
If you are looking for a collection with varied poetry styles - this would be an accessible place to start.
I want to get this in physical form as I could see myself returning to it.

A selection of poems chosen by the author herself as well as a few of her own thrown in.
A good selection, I enjoyed the second half of the book more.

a lovely anthology; i feel like it would’ve hit me harder had i been in a different place mentally than i was. i also felt that a lot of the poems didn’t vary very much from one another which made the reading experience a little monotonous - which again might’ve been helped by a more emotional state! tldr: personally didn’t hit me very hard, but could be someone else’s happy place <3
