Crown Noble by Bianca Phipps

Interesting mix of dark poems exploring the dynamics of family
After reading the poesy collection Dear girl by Aija Mayrock, I thought I would try more poetry books and downloaded Crown Noble on Netgalley.
The resume was promising as it talks about family and forgiveness and the cover is really nice looking in my opinion. However, I was disappointed by the content. First, it may be because I’m just a beginner in poetry but I didn’t really how to read it, when to take a longer break or how-to rhythm the sentences. Moreover, some poems are just a thick paragraph and even though I quite liked In the clouds, I didn’t like Stay with me that I thought was too long. I also think I’m lacking experience to understand the poems as my parents are not divorced and I never experienced any problems within my family. It explores the dynamics of family and experiences of hurt and can therefore be quite dark. It is an interesting mix and even though I didn’t enjoy them all, some poems really got to me.
