Surviving Home by Katerina Canyon

4.0

I feel like poetry is something that really taps into your emotions because it’s usually written from a personal space. It takes a courageous spirit to open up about their life and share it with people all over. I believe the author did an amazing job telling her story in prose. I felt like I was on a never ending emotional roller coaster as I read through each poem. The author strung together vivid images to reveal her troubled childhood and how she managed to survive. I appreciate the author’s honesty about her childhood. Her story shows people that everyone’s life isn’t all roses. Reading this was like listening to my favorite album, front to back with no skips. Beautifully written, each poem was better than the last.
