Small, yet perfectly formed. Bold and beautiful.

I don't get poetry but i get this

The poetry just felt so childish and was devoid of sentimentality. The book had consistent spelling errors, like the wrong your or breath instead of breathe, which I assume due to the repetition was a half-assed publishing job. It just felt messy and tedious.

Lemn Sissay is simply super talented, and a great inspiration for me to pick up my pen. I really enjoyed this collection.

Some nice imagery and but the writing style isn’t for me and I may have found a couple of typos.
