This is hands down my favorite collection of poetry! There are poems in this tiny book that I can relate to so wholeheartedly, that it breaks my heart.

3/31/17:
I recently just read lullabies by Lang Leav which was filled to the brim with love poems that I hated, they were dull, and repetitive.

Love and Space Dust is also filled with love poems, that have a similar theme; but what makes it great, what makes it spectacular is, that it is more than just love poems.

2015 I said that this book was filled with poems so relatable it broke my heart and two years later I still agree. Love and Space Dust is about love, life, and relationships and it's amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time.

after reading Milk & Honey which severely disappointed me, I came back to this gem. Making this the third time I've read it. It's definitely one of my favorites, and I always expect to love it less than I did before, but I just always end up loving it more.

So far the only poetry book that I enjoy thoroughly.

My favorite one from the book:
I wrapped my
Heart in steel but
You still manage

To break it.

I don't want peace.

I want late nights and
Dark rings, action and
Bright lights, love and
Heartbreak and feeling
And pain. I want you.

I want to breathe in life
And breathe out poetry.

There are very few poems and fewer poetry collections that I enjoy. That's partially because I rarely read poetry, but also because I'm very particular. Unlike novels, I don't care much about the 'deeper meaning' of poetry. I just want it to be pretty. That may make me a very superficial poetry critic, but it does make it easy for me to decide if I'll enjoy a poetry collection.

I knew that I would enjoy this collection. I'd already read snippets of the poems and loved them. While the actual poems are semi-lengthy, most sections can be read out of context and still be impactful. The themes in this collection are nothing new, but the poems are so beautiful and lyrical. And depressing. I would have given this 4 stars but I didn't enjoy the last poem, and it was long. I would have preferred for it to have been another few poems that were similar to the rest in the collection.

I'm still not a huge fan of poetry, but I really enjoyed this collection and would love to check out more of this poet's work.

We are nothing but space dust trying yo find its way back to the stars

I look back and I realise that I clung on when I should have let go, and let go when I should have clung on for.
Dear life.
