Heidi Wong has a way with words. She uses strategic imagery to paint pictures in our minds. Her collection wasn’t an easy read but it was definitely something. It’s clear that a lot of her influences derive from classic poetry, not the new wave of poetry that many of us see in this time. I think that makes her poetry all the more unique. It has depth and makes you question. It makes you reread to get a grasp on what she’s saying. This is not a poetry collection for someone who just wants a quick read.

Heidi expresses heavy topics in this collection. From death to rebirth and everything in between. She even shows the duality of women. That they are not just soft but also fierce. She brings hope and encouragement to others. The collection is hard to get through in one sitting. Expect to take breaks.

The artwork itself is beautiful. Poems in their own way. They also match with the poems surrounding them. It’s Visual representations of her thoughts and emotions.

Overall, I enjoyed Heidi Wong's poetry. She is a talented woman and can teach us all how to hone and utilize our voice and talent. I can’t wait to what else she brings.
