I love how Vivian Blac paint vivid pictures of emotions through her words.
I found her poetry fresh and raw and so incredibly touching.
I do want to warn you that it contains explicit language, but so does life. And this is about someone's life - wide open for you to see in all its painful honesty.
A brilliant anthology.

I feel humbled to have read her poems, so special, so gripping and so truthful and deep that it hurts. The prose bites into your skin and brings to the surface one's own buried wounds once again only to heal them as you read on. There is nothing but the truth, powerful feelings and a clarity of what is... as only a true philosopher poet could describe. The beauty lays in its details... starting with the book design and placements of words. A unique journey into a woman's soul who couldn't cry any other way. 5 big and fat stars!

You are not alone; you can live this.

Poetry that speaks to your experience, your pain, your anger, your rejection, your sorrow, your desire to survive and your promise to yourself that this will, in time, become less of what defines you. You are not alone, you are not destroyed, you will do this. "black glass met brick wall" - this one spoke to my heart from the depth of Vivian's soul. Read and feel identity; learn, and feel strong; you did not break yourself.

i write no color pictures is a raw and emotional read. It hits on some hard topics in such a meaningful way. Although there was a small problem with punctuation, it was still a very enjoyable poetry collection that I think is relatable for so many.
