A review by megbarrett
Sweetdark by Savannah Brown
reflective
medium-paced
sweetdark by savannah brown is her second collection of poetry, following graffiti, and i was so excited about reading it.
from the very first poem, the consistent themes of mortality and existential questioning shine through. once again, savannah gets at the very relatable (to me, at least) worries and concerns that plague the waking mind.
i think, like many poetry collections, sweetdark can be visited regularly, read in small doses, but there’s also something about it that kept me from putting it down.
the book is separated into three parts, and, almost as if through vignettes, they explore motifs of creation and destruction, as well as strong self-reflection and vulnerability that i saw reflected in myself.
through all of it, though, it reads to me, ultimately, as a love letter to life.
full disclosure: i was kindly sent a pdf of this book in exchange for an honest review!
