I really loved this poetry book, you can tell the writer but a lot of their soul and passion into their poems, I could relate and feel every word.

“Of all the tragedies on this earth, there is none more tragic than a person who cannot see their worth.” 

There are some poems that I easily related to. There are also poems that really spoke to me and I wish I could etch them into the minds of people who really need to hear/read them, because they deserve to know how much they should stay..

veganecurrywurst's review

lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

2.5

Was ich mochte:

• es war sehr lesbisch
• ca. 8 Gedichte/Gedanken waren echt schön
• die Bilder von den Quallen sind so schön; ganz ehrlich wenn des Buch nur Bilder von den Quallen gewesem wäre 5 von 5 Sternen
• die Überstzerin hat es super gemacht, die Gedichte in deutscher Sprache haben mir wesentlich besser gefallen

Was ich nicht mochte:

• die meisten Gedichte waren sehr oberflächlich, so als hätte man einem Computer gesagt er soll das klischeehafteste was er zu Liebe finden kann auszuspucken
• vieles hat sich so angefühlt wie das was vor 10 Jahren auf Tumbler gepostet wurde und heute von 50 Jährigen auf facebook gepostet wird
• die Persönlichkeit der autorin kam überhaupt nicht durch, die Gedichte hätten von irgendjemandem sein können
• viele der Gedichte waren mehr so Gedankenfetzen, die man immer wieder mal auf Instagram sieht
• die meisten Gedichte sind überhaupt nicht tiefgründig
• die Autorin verwendet immer und immer wieder dieselben Metaphern
• manche Sachen werden schwarz-weiß dargestellt
• Es fühlt sich an wie fast fashion poesie
• es war nichts dabei, was man nicht schonmal irgendwo gehört hat
• ich hasse es, dass zu sagen, aber das Buch schreit nur so "ich bin priviligiert"

1,5 Sterne für die Quallen und 1 Stern für den Inhalt

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.0

The 2016 poetry collection Pillow Thoughts by Australien author Courtney Peppernell accumulates a collection of her poems in a total of seven parts. 

Peppernell's poems talk heavily about human emotions and are seemingly influenced by her own experiences. I had a very good time reading them. They are very emotional and were able to even have me a little sobbing at some parts. 

I loved her writing and I loved her poems. They were easy to understand but also left space for own interpretation.
I can and will recommend this book.
However, as always please take note of the content warnings before reading.
