Soft Hunger

by Lucrezia Brambillaschi

Soft Hunger is a beautiful collection of poetry that treads the delicate line between intimate and public, between talking to oneself and talking to a crowd.

Pain, loss, heartbreak, depression and, above all else, always, the crowning glory of existence: love - these are the core themes you will find in this collection. But also the struggle of being part of a so-called minority, the pride in finally finding and being comfortable with one’s own identity, the compelling need to change the world and the audacity to try and do that through words.

Through a continuous movement between the inside and the outside, the soft-spoken and the screamed, the obvious and the implied, this collection of poetry takes the reader into the intricacies of feelings, offering raw honesty, brutal emotion and the reassurance that no one is alone, we’re all human after all.

This was a nice little collection of poems exploring the themes of love, acceptance and transition. Well worth a read.

Lovely and thought provoking

Lots of things to consider after reading this great election of poems.

The author has the ability to capture multiple meanings in her works that convey both emotionally and intellectually.

Great stuff!
