Sparks of Phoenix by Najwa Zebian
5.0
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
“I will not live with your guilt.
I will not carry your weight.
It is yours to carry.”
As with all poetry collections that I love, this one made me incredibly emotional. I don’t know why I’m so drawn to poetry collections about women experiencing trauma and healing (let’s not psychoanalyze that), but there’s just something about collections like this that speaks to me. The symbolism of the Phoenix is beautiful and other than some repetition this was an A+ collection.
