A review by maimona
The Chaos of Longing by K.Y. Robinson

4.0

I wanted to read this as an easy read but discovered it was far from easy. it is HEAVY. The poet's words pierced through me, there is a lot of sadness hurt disappointment, and feelings of betrayal in her words. she may have written the poems in an erotic way but it felt so sad to me, screaming, only ache resonated from each poem.

The first part was trauma and her pain and ache, then unrequited love and other escape places she finds to heal her soul and heart, in the last part seems like she finds self-love. finding love in loving herself. She grew stronger in each part but still, the ache and hurt still lingered in her.

for me:
This final part, which is my fav, was the best! it felt like she really got what she really needed, she understood what can finally help her and it is no other than self-love.


recommended.
