Hi Book Friends! I can’t believe how fast March is going! How about that last section of the princess saves herself in this one? I definitely cried. Let’s see how Amanda continues the themes in this section, the queen!

Amanda explores some less than positive emotions in this section. How do you feel about poetry as a means to express feelings of revenge, pettiness, and other “negative” emotions?

How can we take so called negative emotions and use them to grow? How can we take trauma and bad life experiences and do the same? Does one need pain to be an artist or does one just need the ability to grow?

Do you think there is a difference between first relationships and relationships later in life? Do you believe that first relationships can last and if so, what makes them do so? How do Amanda’s poems about her later relationships differ from her first ones?

In what ways can a new relationship feel like poetry? How can a healthy relationship feel the same?

Everyone comes into a relationship with baggage; what advice do you think is important for people to know to make relationships work? Whether it’s love or friendship, how can you tame your personal dragons? What advice can you get from Amanda’s poetry?

How do you see Amanda’s growth into this section?

In what ways has the theme of saving yourself progressed to the section of the queen? How are the poems queen-like?

Do you think your own life has had a princess-damsel-queen progression? Or would you say it’s something different? What would you title the sections of your life so far?

Do any of the poems specifically resonate with you?
