I initially passed on Words Covered In Salt because I’m not always into reading about relationships/dating experience in poetry form, but as I kept seeing it around, I just really loved the cover and title, so I decided to go ahead and read it anyway. I’m so glad that I did because I completely loved Words Covered In Salt! I flew through it, it gave me the feels, and I made sure to highlight some of my favorite poems. One thing that I loved about Words Covered In Salt was that it reminded me of Olivia Rodrigio’s SOUR a little bit, they have a somewhat similar vibe and I couldn’t get enough of that! It was just an awesome reading experience and I know that when I think of this collection, it’ll be with fondness.

Nice book of poems

Words Covered In Salt is a nice book of poems. I felt like I was reading a poetic journal of Caitlin Platt's life. I would recommend these poems to someone who needs reassurance to leave a toxic relationship. Platt gives a lot of encouragement to choose yourself when you are in a toxic relationship and not strong enough to leave. Her words are inspirational and motivating.

I think this poet has a lot of potential and but overall it could have used some additional editing. Changes in line breaks/punctuation/capitalization really could have helped the flow in several pieces and really polished things for better impact. I look forward to future work to see how they develop.

Wow.....just wow

Absolutely truthful facts. I was broken for so long and it has taken me over a decade to be completely open with my heart with my significant other because of the one that broke me down until I was laying in a hospital bed wanting to die. If you are in a bad relationship please please reach out, keep fighting. You will be you one day again.

Average

It just sounded like reading a diary. I appreciate the pain and emotions in this book but it really wasn’t poetry, just a long bent.

Needed this

With what I’m going through I needed to read these poems. They helped me realize it’s not all me and I need to think about my future.

A few poems really spoke to me. Others... Simply were. There was nothing overly interesting about this collection but also nothing so poorly executed that I wouldn't give it a reread... Someday.

The quotes were a little bit cliché though some were pretty good...And it still feels nice to read those types of books!

Typos and Profanity

My poem reading experience was kinda ruined by all of the typos and "fuck"s. Please edit. Please keep writing. Please get better. You're a promising poet.
