A review by mgdoherty
Sweet, Young, & Worried by Blythe Baird

emotional hopeful sad tense fast-paced

Beautiful book of poems. This book is a separated into three parts along three different themes/chapters in an emotional journey of pain and healing. Roughly they are “girlhood pains and traumas,” “motherhood,” and “healing.” Personally part 2 resonated with me the most, but part 1 also clawed my heart open. It’s beautiful but almost painful to read.
