emotional
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
Publishing date: 24.09.2024
Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC. My opinions are my own.
I expected: Poetry reflecting on the authors youthful years
I got: A book reflecting on the author's faith
The book left me: Reflecting
Amount of poems:
71 poems, spanning up to 2 pages
Features:
A lot of faith, 4 illustrations, 4 sections, some insight into the author's journey with faith and growing up
Final ranking and star rating?
4 stars, B tier. I think my own relationship with faith got in the way for a full score. I really enjoy Yousaf's poems and style. In this collection, I didn't get that same connection as with "Oaths". That's okay, can't always be a gold medallion.
I do and will recommend this collection to others.
Favorite poems:
Maturation
I know myself, bu you seem to know more
