With Love, Grief and Fury by Salena Godden

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is such a wonderful poetry collection, covering so many topics in so much depth. 

I would recommend this to lovers of poetry that perfectly encapsulates some of the most vulnerable elements of the human experience.

There were a handful of poems that felt a little repetitive, and some others that felt slightly out of place in this collection. This is the only reason I didn’t give this one 5 stars personally, but I still loved the collection so much.

Selena has such a talent for capturing those types of human experiences that feel unique when you’re in it but really are incredibly relatable and an integral part of the human experience.

With Love, Grief, and Fury felt like a real labor of love. It felt like a true privilege to be able to glimpse into Salena’s world with this collection.

Some of my favorites were: When You Stub Your Toe, But First Make Tea, Wonderful World, and With Love, Grief, and Fury 2 & 5.

Thanks to NetGalley and Canongate for the e-arc. All opinions are my own.
