markalkman's review against another edition

I didn't love this one as much as his first book, hence the four stars instead of five, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Atticus has a brilliant way with words and the beauty of his poetry is simplicity. That doesn't mean all his poems are easy or insignificant, it's actually the opposite of that. Sometimes you don't need lots of posh or difficult words, you don't need complicated sentences. Sometimes the simplicity of it all speaks for itself and that's what makes it so enjoyable. You can recognize yourself in his poems (well, in some of them probably) and you can give them your own meaning. Everyone has their own experiences in life, and sometimes a specific combination of words can mean something entirely different to the person sitting next to you. I am glad I bought this book as well and I'll definitely be looking forward to his third book, which I'm sure will be released at some point in the near future.

its hard to believe someone would give this book less than 5 stars…this is a beautiful representation of the falling, the fall, and getting back up process of finding love. these poems hit way too hard and during the fall stage and getting back up made me feel things I hadn’t felt in almost 5 years. thank you for this, Atticus, this book is beautiful

Didn't enjoy it as much as the first one, but there was still a stand out for me;
'her love came from deep within, a calm acceptance, of who she was in the world. A quiet respect for the face she saw in the mirror.'
I can't believe this was a 2018 publication, I feel like so much has happened since then. I don't have strong memories of the first time I read this, not like the first book, but it was still nice to revisit this before I donate it.

I didn't love this one as much as Atticus' first collection Love Her Wild, but I still enjoyed it a fair amount. I'm finding that poetry that is happy and about love really speaks to me and makes me so happy to be reading. I'm still very new to poetry so I'm not sure how to review them except by sharing a few of the poems that I just loved.
You weren't given wings
to see the world from a tree.
Come on darling
she said
lets' drink wine
and paint
our universe.
With this collection, some of the poems just seemed rather simple. Maybe even too simple. But what doesn't work for me, may work for you. So either way, I recommend it!
