Flourish

by Lillian Olson

Flourish is an illustrated collection of poetry that explores the relationship between the author and her partner as they learn to live and love together despite the pain of growing up. Throughout the course of their long relationship, they have transformed in the wake of their mental illness. Again and again, they have changed but remarkably, they have only ever held onto each other tighter. Throughout their story, they strive to support one another through the uncertainty of self-harm, depression, and gender identity. Flourish expresses love as a miracle born from patience and understanding, as well as delicate and unmitigated joy.

the rising tension form the beginning to the first half of the book was touchable and visible. Just as dense as fog. Liking the fact that we started in the childhood and we ended with a welcome and return letter form the beginning.
