As a Swiftie, I liken AWAKE: Poetry for the Healing to the way Taylor Swift’s lyrics break me open in all the best ways. Felicia Clark’s poetry is raw, resonant, and deeply personal, yet it has a universal pull that makes you feel like she’s speaking directly to your soul.
With unflinching honesty, Clark explores trauma, healing, and self-discovery, guiding readers through the weight of mental health struggles, grief, and resilience. Just like when I dissect Taylor’s lyrics, I found myself so pulled in and intrigued that I was googling, searching for the depth and meaning hidden within Clark’s words. Every poem felt like a puzzle piece, fitting together to form a journey of pain, reflection, and ultimately, hope.
AWAKE reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find light, strength, and understanding within ourselves and the words of others.
