1 star because i liked, on average, 1 poem out of 5
this was very rupi kaur coded (and i mean that as an insult) severely disliked the automatic attribution of objective fault to the woman's ex a. why is a man so fixated on women's experiences? u telling me I'm beautiful from within? when another man just shut me the fuck down? i felt a liiiiittle creeped out tbh b. the male ex was always a liar and a manipulator. this categorical division of man=bad and woman=good is the laziest shit I've ever seen in my LIFE. no complexity whatsoever, no nuance to individuals c. also putting 100% of the blame on the man is kinda absolving the woman and it's like - yeah, u didn't deserve to be treated like that. but why r u still there? there is some accountability that is lacking here, if we REALLY wanna get into it.
the algorithm stuff was fine; nothing new under the sun. i did not count it as being part of the ones i liked, unless it underlined a desire to live outside of social media aka basing yourself on real life rather than digital parameters of life
i gotta say my fave poems were the self-love ones. they were generally expressed alongside natural imagery and that is my niche shit right there, so even though the poems were very simple (to not say smtg else that might be a little sharper, but unnecessary), they were nice to read
i used to have a chip on my shoulder, and that chip's name was Poetry. I think I have evolved enough in my lit studies to recognize good poetry from bad poetry. cuz this was mostly bad.
It was fine. I was really excited at the prospect of some longer pieces from RH SIN in the beginning pages of this book, but was quickly thrust back into his regular form of writing. The poem on page 19 was interesting… none of the others felt as noteworthy and some tended to read as a bit lackluster. I almost want to rewrite some of the “self-aware/dependence” poems to reflect the Truth: we are loved and it’s not in finding ourselves, but in recognizing that the Love of Jesus is far greater than that of mortal beings.
In a time of breakup, I was looking for something to help guide me and empower me. This collection has done just that, and more. There were days where it hurt to read; however, with every page I grew closer to understanding my experience. The manipulation I was put through went from an illusion to a realization. Instead of being sad, I have become angry and empowered. This is not my typical read, but I really needed this.
poems were very good and again very relatable, I would read it again and would recommend it to women on a journey of healing and growing and learning to love themselves. Sin makes good points in his poems in regards to relationships and the part both parties play in relationships. He makes good points on the presence or lack thereof of self love
I got this for my daughter who is on a journey to find herself , to fight for her peace, to fall madly in love with her life ! This latest collection of poetry is exactly the words she needs right now!
There were certain pieces I enjoyed but a lot of the metaphors felt overused and the last piece of prose just felt like a bizarre addition. WildFlower imagery is one of my favorites so I picked it up but definitely not my favorite.
My sister bought me this book for Christmas… I’m not sure if she actually read anything inside but I am in a happy and healthy relationship… none of these poems moved me. They honestly felt extremely emotionless but maybe it is just because I can’t relate to them?
absolutely beautiful. if you feel like you are alone or worthless, pick this up and read a few of the poems. i definitely will be rereading when i need that reminder!
