The poems really worked and resonated with me, for the majority of her book. More so than prior collections. And what I thought was fascinating is the use of duality between fierceness and softness. I feel like it’s important, especially for women, to recognize that channeling each ends of this spectrum can be useful and does not necessarily need to be feared, or avoided. Rather, accepting the intricacies of one’s personality ought to be celebrated and explored.💫
💬 Needless to say I enjoyed this one quite a bit! Although I did enjoy the alternating sequence between wildflowers and wildfires, sometimes it was a bit difficult for me to move through the poems sequentially. I’m sure I don’t speak for the majority of readers, but I think I may have felt a bit more grounded reading a wildfire section, and a wildflower section. Or, something to break up the consistent alternating sequence. But it may have been that the author wanted a buffer so that the reader didn’t feel overwhelmed by the intensity of some of the poems.
Regardless, I enjoyed this collection! Many of the poems are new favourites in this collection.
Olivia 🐈 and I rate this poetry collection a solid ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.75 stars!
