Nacre

by Ginger Tran

Nacre takes the reader through the generational traumas that bleeds into romantic traumas that bleeds into self-reclamation if only we allow ourselves to look inward. When we pinpoint the hunger for external love down to its origin, starvation can grow into selective satiation from self-love and divine love. Like an oyster shell, the heart becomes a portal that transmutes all disturbances from the deep into something crystalline, pure, and valuable.

Beautifully written poetry. Sharp, piercing and also comforting. I haven't read a poetry book in quite some time but this was a really great re-entry. This book really touched on some heavy subjects in a lovely way!

[Lauren Shapiro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall it was good, it just didn't stand out much. It is average modern poetry. If you like modern poets like Rupi Kapor and Amanda Lovelace, I definitely recommend giving this one a read.

The language in this collection of poetry is very fluid and beautiful. It is both light and airy with some heavier elements at times. I appreciated this quick read.

Goodreads giveaway winner! I don’t usually read poetry but enjoyed this. Zen Garden was my favorite.

🖋️ Although I thoroughly enjoy reading and writing poetry, Nacre just is not cutting it for me – it comes across like a discovery of big words from a word-a-day-calendar and placed oddly so as to sound academic. It, and the misandry, was not working for me. 🗑 Conversely, other readers may find this collection of poems their oyster with a cultured pearl inside.

♦️ I received a Kindle eBook copy via the Goodreads Giveaway Program. Thank you to the author, Ginger Tran, for the book and experience. 😀
