So tender, so honest. The language in this is delicate, yet intense, such that I almost physically felt the words as I read them. Gorgeous photography and illustrations throughout which fit perfectly with the entire atmosphere of the collection. An absolute joy to read!!!

Incredibly personal and vulnerable, this book made me feel connected even during the times I didn't relate to the author's personal struggles and experiences.
A touching adulting compilation, that left me feeling at peace, and inspired to create from a raw perspective.
Highly recommend <3

Beautiful, captivating writing, a book with diverse poems, some deeply personal and others experimental but all feel meaningful and comprehensible to most readers. Hope to see more :)
