Things I Wish You Knew is a wonderful, small collection of short and long poems, letters and simple texts/thoughts about a broken heart.
If you're going through a heartbreak right now or still remember the aching of it from a long time ago (like me), then you should totally consider reading this one.
The poems are beautiful, especially the longer ones which resemble classic poetry in their structure as well as the rhyming. The letters are honest and tell things that I too, would like to tell that boy in my life.
A pretty little read. It's a shame though that it is so, so, so short (literally took me 15 minutes to read it all) ): I had hoped for a bigger collection. Maybe next time?
I enjoyed this collection of poems, thoughts and letters a lot! I loved how the author is able to have a „clear, short“ style of writing and expressing so much with just a couple of words. Really liked the few printed pages, too.
Mikuliez' Things I Wish You Knew is written in a unique, yet predicable way. It chronicles the pain we feel during heartbreak, and the trauma left behind from great loves - or love we believe to be important at the time. What I really wanted from this collection was simply more. Heartbreak, especially in how it is described in Mikuliez' work, is messy and emotional and everything in between. I liked some of the work in this book, but I felt this could have been more. Whether it was more in-depth, more raw, or more words, it still felt true to what the writer was expressing.
Okay, this one was total hit and miss. Firstly, this book is in no way worth the $7.90 I paid for it. It’s only 36 pages, and most of the poems are extremely short or so scattered they have to be reread three times to understand the message. I will admit, there were a few hidden gems, but I was totally disappointed in this title.
Mikulicz has created a very short but poignant collection of poems focusing mainly on ideas of love and loss. Very well written and some nice lines, just wish a few of the poems were more developed and more original.
If I'm honest this was just so boring. There are some things that shouldn't have been published, because it gives nothing to the consumer; this is that.
short and sweet - it’s definitely not the most complex collection of poems i’ve ever read but it’s honest. it feels like something i would’ve written myself so it feels very true to me
