Stunningly honest & like a friend we all wish we had living next door to us, Susi Bocks' latest collection of poetry & thoughts reads like a diary meets a year in the life of, and leaves us wishing there were similar authenticity in the every day.
Bocks follows her previous collection with a years worth of musings and insights, that it would be hard not to relate to. Her humor, scope, fearlessness and downright likeability make this a very, very enjoyable and lasting read.
You will find something of yourself too, and wish you'd written or thought of it, but Bocks is able to mine those everyday considerations and make diamonds of them.
An intense exodus of a read, ideal for anyone who seeks to consider the way they are living their life and the value and importance of pausing and taking a breath. You will laugh, gnash your teeth and probably exclaim out loud as you read your way through a year of this remarkable human being.
What a journey!
