Reviews

[Arthur Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short, sweet, genuine, longing, heartbreaking, there is so much to love in these poems. From specific moments of pain, to an ever present hopefulness and longing, these poems captured so much about the beauty and pain of being human, a being condensed into a few short lines though they could never truly be just that.
