Skin Memory by John Sibley Williams

4.0

This poetry collection was very compelling to read. The author's writing of landscapes as metaphors for feelings of love, loss and grief really stuck with me. There were poems that resonated in a way that not many poems do, though others felt a little too metaphorical for my taste. Still, I couldn't help but devour this book, trying to connect the dots between nature and the author's story, and even comparing it to my own. I was very significant to read about the author's religion and culture within his poetry.
All in all a beautiful, and at times, sad poetry collection.
