Through the Breaking
Through the Breaking is an intense and personal story of love and loss – loss of love and, perhaps most of all, loss of self. Told through a searing blend of micro-poems and longer pieces that can be sharp and brutal one moment, then tender and forgiving the next, it is a snapshot of a girl on the edge as she navigates her way back in this debut collection of poetry.

November 13, 2019Did not finish and I don't really read poetry ever.
With that disclaimer out there I did read about half. Let's get into it.
Cover
It's a pretty straight forward basic cover but it also feels pretty personal with it's symbolism. I do like the tie in between the brush stroke title and the pink paint over the eyes.
Interior
As someone that reads everything out loud it's best read with feeling and emphases.
It's kind of neat how each poem/page ties into the next in a biography style way making me learn more about the author. Personally too many "Oh My!" moments for my liking

Amazing!
This was so good. It's a short collection (I finished it in one sitting), but it is powerful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes poetry, or to those who don't. This would be a good starting point it someone thinks all poetry is sappy. Looking forward to more works from Cate Emond.

I received a free copy of this collection from a Goodreads giveaway.
This is a beautiful little collection of poetry, and I already know I will return to it again in the future. A big thank you to the poet for providing me with a copy of this book to grace my bookshelf.
While this collection is raw, I was seeking a little more depth than I found. However, this is the first collection of poetry by Cate Emond, and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future!
My favourites include: 'are you sure? YES/NO (please circle your answer)' and 'the dreamers (things we had that summer).
I think there may be a spelling mistake in 'are you sure? YES/NO (please circle your answer) where it says 'I loke you' - I'm thinking that should be 'I like you', but maybe I'm wrong.
