drdon1996 's review for:
Healing Is a Gift: Poems for Those Who Need to Grow
by Alexandra Vasiliu
More than poetry....
In spite of the first selection starting with "Dear woman..", this is a collection of work that anyone, male or female, can benefit by reading.
While it is poetry, free verse versus rhyme, it is also a self-help manual. Poems such as "Don't Validate" are filled with advise for anyone suffering depression, low self esteem, or feelings of inadequacy. The poem, "I Will Do My Best", could be copied and attached to a mirror as a pledge to begin each day.
What I was not expecting, were the feelings expressed in the poem, "When You Left Me". Having been the one leaving this one made me pause.
Perhaps Vasiliu"s most striking poem is the one entitled, "No Pills". In a society were the knee jerk reaction is to medicate, this is a strong message for not.
This work is from the heart of the author and it is her struggles and healing that bring the power to her words.
This one gets five stars.
