I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into when I started reading this. I thought it would be easy, nice, surface level kind of poetry that was lovely in the moment, but I was completely, dead wrong.
I found myself crying on my lunch break, having to take a minute, put my phone down to deal with the emotions that were brought up within me. Some of these felt like they were taken from my own life and my own relationships.
These are not easy poems. These are not nice and surface level poems. These are raw, real, stabbing truthful poems that do exactly what they were created to do: make you realize you’re not alone in how you feel.
I greatly thank NetGalley and SK Willams for allowing me the honor of reading this as an ARC. These were hard to read, which is said they would be, but necessary.
If you’re going through a hard time, take this with you. Cry with it and allow it to see you in your hurt because you are not doing it alone.

Review for Maybe Today
As always poetry is vulnerable and vast. Varies from person to person so with that I don’t feel a 100% as though I can review this collection. However I highly recommend reading if you have or do feel alone. If you have loved and lost.
If you have grieved. This is one for you. There is a poem for every one in this collection.

<b> “Everyone seems to think
loneliness is a sad thing.
But it can be a comfort too.
At least I know
I always have myself,
even when it seems
everyone else has left.”</b>
I absolutely love the personal journey in this book and the friendship! The illustrations were gorgeous, and I appreciated the quality of the pages too!
Love by Night (their first book) was incredible, which meant I was going to check this one out. I didn’t expect to relate to so much of K’s experiences and emotions.
This is a wonderful book and I feel like I’ve connected to S and K - that they’ve invited me to see how special relationships with people, especially friends, can be.

This one just wasn’t for me. I really appreciate the vulnerability of the author and the concept of the friend/wife writing notes back to him; but poetry can be a hard one for me to get into, which is why I’m giving it the low rating.

Goodreads giveaway - I only read poetry occasionally but this was a good one. 4 Seasons. Fall the author is writing about depression as a coping mechanism. Winter the author has fallen more into a dark place Spring hope is coming. Summer the author has found love in their friend who has been there the whole time. Not perfect but learning to cope
