There will be a point in your life when you need this book.

I purchased it years ago, but only just decided to read it. Good decision.

This takes me forever, not because this collection is bad, it is really beautiful, but I just can't read this on one sitting. It has to be in little chunks.

*Update*
I FINISHED IT! And it was beautiful.

I did not know one could fall in love with a book. And yet I did. She spoke so poetically to me that I got swept away, and I have been left again on this earth knowing my life has been changed. I am more human. And I hope she'll change form and meet me again, for I already miss her.

There are a few ways to consider this book-- one, as a poetry collection. To be frank, the poetry is pretty bad-- a lot of cliches, small thoughts not developed in interesting ways. There is the occasional gem of a line, but no single poem impressed me. The second thing to consider is this as a collection of photographs-- I found the photography to be composed with great skill. A lot of it was very interesting and unique and beautiful and odd. It was definitely a successful bunch of photos. Finally, when considering this book as a combination of the two things-- poetry and photography-- it largely fails, mostly because there is a disconnect in skill level, kind of like when a comic book has a great story but awful art, or vice-versa. Even though I loved the photographs, I didn't love them in the context of this book-- I just want to seek out more of this photographer's work elsewhere.

It was repetitive and also, A LOT OF POEMS.
They had the same ones as the previous book so I was reading the same.

THIS!!!

A book I would read and listen to the audiobook on repeat and I really wouldn't get bored or tired of it!

written in a way to heal the reader and the listener, it's amazing how the words could just summarize what you are feeling and what you need to do or think of!

"I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it doesn't get it." - it starts with this but it says what you will find!

"..Home is a place, not just a time.."

"..how many times this could hurt.
The question is, How many times can it heal"


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Wtf is this. This book is full of nothingness. Regret buying it. I’d like to keep an open mind, but so far… modern poetry has no depth.

I can also write “modern” chitchat and call myself a successful author.

You remember that time you were looking forward to *insert a situation*? Neither do I.

Here. Did you like it?
