A review by caitlinsgarden
Crown Noble by Bianca Phipps
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was drawn to this poetry collection because of the cover and thought it might be a really nice read. The writing in it was beautiful in some parts, and there were a lot of really impactful moments. It speaks mainly about family, forgiveness, dealing with grief, and other difficult things. I thought it was very well done, but I, unfortunately, didn't connect to the themes or the writing at all.
It was written in a style that is very descriptive and long, written almost as if the author is telling a story instead of writing poetry. There is nothing wrong with that style of writing, but it's not what I personally like in poetry. I don't like when poetry is written in normal sentences, or in huge bulks of text.
However, if you like themes of family and a longer more descriptive style of writing, then this might be a great read for you! The collection is very short as well so it's quite a quick read.
