Love & Misadventure by Lang Leav
4.0
'Love & Misadventure' by Lang Leav is a book of modern poetry and short essays about love, loss and learning to love again.
The book is divided into three sections: Misadventure, The Circus of Shadows, and Love. Each section has poems and short essays about the theme. A hauntingly beautiful illustration by Lang Leav is placed at the start of each section to draw you in.
The poems were simple and raw. They were artistic and understandable at the same time. They were short, powerful and flowed quickly.
It felt like the short essays interrupted the flow of the poetry. They were interesting to read, but I think they should've been in a book of their own.
The illustrations were beautiful and haunting. I wish I could've seen more of Leav's intriguing illustrations.
It was a quick, but meaningful and memorable, read.
I recommend this book for anyone who loves poetry. I also recommend it for anyone who wants to get into poetry but doesn't know where to start.
