My Darling from the Lions by Rachel Long
1.0
I always feel so mean when I give a small book one star, especially when it’s something personal like poetry. But this kind of poetry isn’t my thing! I was gifted this book by a friend as part of a random selection from a bookshop, so the rating is on me really as I wouldn’t have picked this book for myself.
It feels like the poems we had to read in GCSE English where you study the meaning behind the words and rhythm, and I prefer poetry that is explicit in its meaning and open and vulnerable in its words.
Anyway, this wasn’t for me, but 100% personal taste. It was definitely great to finally have some diversity in this genre as there’s definitely a big big gap that really needs to be addressed!
