Curing My Venom by Fatima Munir, A. Rinum
3.0
*Thank you to the author for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
This book is a collection of poems describing the 5 stages of grief. It touches on themes such as self-worth, self-love, and personal growth. I enjoyed reading some poems more than others, as there’s a variety of poetry styles in this book. Some of the poems truly resonated with me. The artwork was also beautiful and I loved looking at the illustrations. For me though this book could have been way shorter. I found it to be a bit repetitive and some messages became redundant after reading them a few times in different poems. I also found some of the poetry to be too dark for my liking, eg: talking of self-harm. Overall, I’d recommend this book to poetry lovers who don’t mind dark topics but this just wasn’t for me.
