HUMANS WHO FEEL THINGS: BOOK ONE

by Karlee Rose North

FOR HUMANS WHO FEEL BIG EMOTIONS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROCESS.

This book is for anyone who doesn't know what they feel, and/or has never learned how to process their emotions. this book explores queerness, intimacy, and trauma, among a million other things. I wrote this for everyone. I wrote this for no one. This is my journal, which I am sharing with you, in hopes that these words can help you, the way that they continue to help me.

This is a collection of poetry, prose, thoughts, doodles, and lots of cursing. This is BOOK ONE of my new series, HUMANS WHO FEEL THINGS.

the female body
is a wonderland to explore
you better take your time
and make her feel good
or she will devour you
in her beauty.

3.5 stars. this was another loan from someone! i flew through this. i can definitely see why people don’t like her poetry, but i honestly love how messy and vulnerable it is, and especially since she started with that statement in the beginning so boldly and unapologetically. great read for twenty-something queers. not my favorite poet, but definitely worth the read. i would like to read the other two books she had. they also just seem like a really warm and down to earth person. books like these are refreshing.

“ I crave you
Like the ocean
Craves the breeze
Like the forest
Craves the trees
My bones ache for you
When we are apart
Like you are the very thung
That holds them together”

(Queer)poetry at its finest zeg ik dan maar. Beter dan Rupi Kaur! Ik ben onder de indruk en heb genoten!!

Enjoyed

I really enjoyed reading this book as a reader, but also as a writer. I somehow feel a deep connection with the writer as I have felt these same feelings at one point or another. Thank you for being you and inspiring me.

I rate this on the emotion instead of the technical skill which I'm unable to judge. Poems on finding yourself, finding your way. There is a sense of touching what is really being felt. Reads "young". Could touch older ages than young adult too. Some of them spoke to me.

There was a couple good pieces in this one, but for the most part, it just wasn’t for me. Not my kinda style of poetry book, but I really loved how she put out all of her thoughts with no fear and all confidence. You go girl!
